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)

Fakler breaks 6K record; XU wins team title in tiebreaker
October 5, 2012
Results:
Men
Women
CLINTON, Miss. — Catherine Fakler again broke the
Xavier University of Louisiana women's record for 6,000 meters and led the Gold
Nuggets to a team championship Friday in the Mississippi College/Watson Ford
Invitational cross country meet.
Fakler placed third among non-NCAA Division I runners
in 24 minutes, 7.38 seconds. She has broken the XU record three times in four
races at this distance in two years, including 24:09.65 three weeks ago.
The Gold Nuggets, winning a second regular-season meet
for the first time in four years, and Mississippi College each finished with 37
points. But Xavier earned the tiebreaker because of No. 6 runner Paige Rochelle's
finish, which has nearly 90 seconds faster than her Mississippi College counterpart.
Also in the top 10 for the XU women were Zahri Jackson
(fourth place, 25:01.34), Hannah Finnegan (sixth, 25:10.09) and Briana Simms (ninth,
25:53.40). Finnegan recorded her first top-10 finish, and her time was a personal best.
Rochelle (30th, 30:03.86) beat her previous best by more than a minute.
Had all the female runners been scored together, Xavier would
have finished ahead of the NCAA Division I champion, Mississippi Valley.
Xavier's men finished third out of seven non-DI schools.
Matt Pieri (second place, 27:12.43) led the Gold Rush in the 8K race. Kwame Jackson
was seventh (27:42.71), and the Gold Rush got personal bests from freshmen
David Holobowicz (12th, 28:19.42) and Aaron Yarmush (14th, 28:42.26).
NCAA D3 member Hendrix won the non-DI team scoring
with 33 points. Mississippi College was second with 60 points, followed by Xavier
with 64.
It was Xavier's final meet before the Gulf Coast Athletic
Conference Championships on Oct. 20 at this same course. Both XU teams are
six-time defending GCAC champions.
