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)

NEW ORLEANS — Briana Simms of Hendersonville,
Tenn., and Station Camp High School has signed a women's cross country
scholarship with Xavier University of Louisiana.
Simms is XU's first runner signed for 2012.
"Xavier had what I wanted, academically and
athletically," said Simms, who has a 3.87 grade-point average and
will major in biochemistry. "When I visited,
it felt like a family there. I knew that Xavier was where I needed to be."
Simms competed four consecutive years in the
Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association state meet and placed
among the top 32 three times. She was 20th
|
in Class A-AA as a freshman
in 2008, 28th in Class AAA in 2010 and 32nd in AAA this past
season to help the Bison finish third in the team standings.
Four times in 2011 she ran 5,000 meters in less than 19 minutes, 45 seconds,
with a personal best of 19:22.86 — the second fastest time in school
history — in the Jesse Owens Classic at Oakville,
Ala., on Oct. 1.
Simms was All-Sumner County and All-Mid-State four
times each.
In outdoor track Simms was the co-outstanding runner
in the Sumner County Championships in 2010 and the outstanding runner in
2011. She won the 800- and 1,600-meter runs both years at that meet. Her best
outdoor times include 5:33.59 in the 1,600 and 12:02 in the 3,200.
Hendersonville is a suburb northeast of Nashville.
Xavier's Gold Nuggets won the past six Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference team championships and qualified for three of the past four
NAIA National Championships.
