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)

Stansberry, Towns sign scholarships to run for Xavier
May 16, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — Lawrence Stansberry IV of New Orleans
and Darian Towns of Memphis, Tenn., have signed cross country scholarships
with Xavier University of Louisiana. Both will be XU freshmen in August.
Stansberry finished 12th for Brother Martin High School
in the District 10-5A championship meet as a junior in 2009 and recorded his
best three-mile time, 16 minutes and 57 seconds, while finishing 13th at the
Brother Martin Invitational in October. His other best times include 2:15.60 for
800 meters, 4:50.61 for the 1,600 and 18:29.73 for the 5,000.
Towns, competing for White Station High School,
was the Region 8-AAA girls cross country champion in 2008 and 2010 and finished 10th
as a sophomore in the state meet. Her best times are 19:24 for 5,000 meters —
she has broken 20 minutes three times in that event — 2:29.72 for the 800,
5:22.86 for the 1,600, 5:35.49 for one mile and 11:45.94 for the 3,200.
Xavier has signed three men and three women for
next season. XU competes in the NAIA's Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
and won the last five GCAC women's and men's team championships.
NOTES: Zahri Jackson, who signed with Xavier during the winter and
is graduating a year early from Kingwood Park High School in Kingwood, Texas,
won the 1,600 Friday in 4:57.33 at the University Interscholastic League state track and field meet in Austin.
Jackson is unbeaten in the 1,600 in five meets this year, including district and
region championships, and she's 10th among U.S. juniors at that distance this outdoor season.
