ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

Who is the only person to be voted Coach of the Year consecutive times on the
All-Louisiana collegiate men's cross country team?
None other than Joseph Moses Jr., who's in his eighth year at Xavier University of
Louisiana and his seventh as the men's and women's cross country coach.
Moses earned that statewide honor in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
He is one of just two to win that honor three times.
Moses also was chosen Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 ,
2010 and 2011,
GCAC women's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and Louisiana women's
Coach of the Year in 2006, 2008,2009 and 2011.
Highlights of Moses' tenure as coach of the Gold Rush also include
Xavier's first ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American — Joe Drexler-Dreis in the 2008-09
academic year — 18 All-GCAC runners and a combined winning record
(29-7) against two NCAA Division I conferences: the Southwestern Athletic and the Mid-Eastern Athletic.
He coached the last three GCAC men's individual champions: Kwame Jackson in 2011, Matt Pieri in 2010 and Ray Walston in 2009.
Jackson and Pieri are scheduled to return for the 2012 season. And the XU men are 58-0 against GCAC opponents
during the past four seasons.
Beginning in 2006, Xavier's men produced at least four All-GCAC runners
annually, including a program-record six in 2011.
Moses' women's teams have displayed similar excellence, winning GCAC team championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011,
each time by margins of 17 or more points.
A combined 21 of 25 male and female seniors have
received degrees from Xavier or are still enrolled during Moses' tenure.
Xavier was one of 10 current members — and one of two from the South
— to qualify its women's and men's teams three or more times apiece for the NAIA National
Championships from 2008-11. The Gold Rush qualified in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Moses also is Xavier's strength and conditioning coach
for all nine of the school's intercollegiate teams and the coach of XU's men's
and women's track and field teams. His women won the GCAC outdoor track and field
championship in 2011. Moses is Xavier's NAIA Champions of Character coordinator
and a rater on the NAIA top 25 men's and women's polls.
Prior to Xavier, Moses was the men's track and cross country coach at
Independence Community College in Independence, Kan., and coached an All-America javelin thrower.
He also was the men's track and cross country coach for two seasons at Charleston Southern University
in Charleston, S.C. There he guided 13 athletes to All-Big South Conference honors.
Moses competed on LSU's track and field team from 1988-91 as a sprinter
(100- and 200-meter dashes, 4 x 100 relay) and was a member of the Tigers' 1989 NCAA indoor and outdoor championship squads.
He received his bachelor of fine arts degree from LSU in 1994.
Moses has USA Track and Field Level 1 coaching certification. He
was born April 8, 1968, in Baton Rouge, La. Moses married the former Kendra O'Bannon of Chico,
Calif., on May 26, 2007, and he has an 16-year-old son, Joseph Moses III, and an infant
daughter, Gabrielle Amaya, born in 2012.
