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)

More GCAC weekly awards for Xavier's Fakler and Pieri
October 11, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Catherine Fakler and Matt Pieri of
Xavier University of Louisiana were selected the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Runners
of the Week for Oct. 1-7. It's the second time this season that each
earned that honor.
Fakler, a sophomore from Phoenix, Ariz., and a graduate of Xavier
College Preparatory Roman Catholic High School, broke the XU women's
record for 6,000 meters for the second time this season and the third time in her career. She ran that distance in
24 minutes, 7.38 seconds and finished third among non-NCAA Division I athletes
in the Mississippi College/Watson Ford Invitational cross country meet at Clinton, Miss. Fakler led the Gold
Nuggets to their second team championship of the season.
