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)

a career-best 19:48.50. Her time is the fifth fastest in XU history. Like her teammate,
Fakler recorded her second top-10 finish in as many meets.
Ebony Harding set the previous XU mark of 19:26 in 2009 as a senior.
Before Saturday, Harding was the only XU female to run a 5K in less than 20 minutes, and
Harding recorded the eight fastest times.
Kwame Jackson, Zahri's older brother, also recorded
his second top-10 in as many meets. He produced a personal best in the men's race. running the 5K
in 16:12.13 to finish fourth out of 56 and No. 2 among collegians.

Both Xavier teams produced upper-division finishes for
the second straight meet. The Gold Nuggets scored 63 points to finish second out of
eight college teams, and the Gold Rush scored 64 points to place third out of seven.
Xavier's good times were not limited to the Jacksons and Fakler.
Sophomore Donyé Coleman ran her fastest collegiate 5K and placed 18th in 20:45.78.
Anna D'Souza was 21st in 21:00.99, her fastest since the 2008 Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference meet her freshman year. In the men's race Ray Walston was seventh with
a career-best 16:27.76, about 45 seconds faster than his time in this race a year ago.
City rival Loyola won both team titles. Former Canadian collegiate
runner Sarah Skotty (17:35.17) was the fastest female finisher for the second straight year,
and former LSU runner Patrick Gavin led the men in 14:56.39. Mississippi College's
