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)

California salutatorian will run for Gold Nuggets
July 17, 2009
NEW ORLEANS — Brianna Dekine, who recently accepted
a full academic scholarship to Xavier University of Louisiana, will compete for the XU women's cross country team as a freshman this fall.
Dekine, 5 feet 8 and 145 pounds, is from Culver City,
Calif., and graduated from Culver City High School as salutatorian of her class.
She ran a career-best of 2 minutes, 16.83 seconds for 800 meters in a
second-place finish at the CIF Southern Section Division 2
|
Finals this year. Her other best
times include 20:03 for three miles and 56.46 for 400 meters.
Dekine, who hopes to attend medical school after Xavier,
will be one of four freshmen on the 10-runner roster of the Gold Nuggets, who are seeking their fourth consecutive Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championship and a repeat
appearance in the NAIA National Championship. Both Xavier teams will begin the season in early September.
The Nuggets' other newcomers are Rubeneisha Cooper of Pearland,
Texas, Sabrina Vargas of Brookshire, Texas, and Dominique Webb of Carson, Calif.
