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)

Joe Drexler-Dreis is Xavier's first
CoSIDA Academic All-American
June 18, 2009
NEW ORLEANS — Joe Drexler-Dreis earned a first
for Xavier University of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
on Thursday when he earned College Division second-team honors on the
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® men's track and field/cross country team.
Drexler-Dreis, from Shorewood, Wis., and Shorewood High School,
is the first Xavier student-athlete chosen to an Academic All-America
squad. Drexler-Dreis shares the distinction of first GCAC athlete chosen with Spring Hill's
Patrick Aucoin, who also made the second team.
The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) has
sponsored the program since 1952. The GCAC first competed in 1981-82.
Drexler-Dreis was All-GCAC in cross country
twice and helped the Gold Rush win three consecutive conference team championships and qualify
for the 2008 NAIA National Championship. His best time for 8,000 meters was
28 minutes, 41.23 seconds, and he had six career top-10 finishes.
Drexler-Dreis
graduated summa cum laude from XU in May — he had a 4.0 grade-point average as
a theology and history major — and has been accepted into Yale University Divinity School.
"This is an outstanding accomplishment for Joe and for Xavier, and he is most
deserving of the honor," Xavier coach Joseph Moses said. "Joe treated his academic work and
cross country with equal enthusiasm."
