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)

Zahri Jackson wins second GCAC weekly award this year
September 26, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Zahri Jackson is the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Runner of the Week in
women's cross country for Sept. 17-23. It's the second time in three weeks
that Jackson won the award, and it's her seventh time in two seasons.
Jackson, a sophomore from Kingwood, Texas, and a
graduate of Kingwood Park High School, recorded the fastest women's 5,000-meter time in
the GCAC this season, 19 minutes, 53.23 seconds, on Saturday in the ASCIS
Embry-Riddle Classic at Daytona Beach, Fla. She finished sixth out of 108
runners, and the time ranks 11th on XU's all-time list. Jackson has seven top-10 finishes in 11 collegiate meets.
