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)

XU's Jackson, Pieri collect GCAC's weekly awards again
October 22, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — League cross country champions Zahri Jackson and
Matt Pieri of Xavier University of Louisiana are the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Runners
of the Week for Oct. 15-21. It's the third time this season that each
was honored.
Jackson, a sophomore from Kingwood, Texas, and a graduate of
Kingwood Park High School, tied a GCAC women's career record with her eighth
weekly award. She shares the mark with Kate Imwalle of former member Spring Hill.
Pieri's award is his 13th, which extends his GCAC record. No other GCAC male has won
more than five times.
Jackson repeated as GCAC individual champion Saturday in Clinton, Miss.
She ran 5,000 meters in 18 minutes, 54.69 seconds to break her school record
by nearly 21 seconds. The time was the second fastest at the GCAC Championships since 1998.
Pieri, a senior from New Orleans and a graduate of
Brother Martin High School, won

the GCAC individual title for the second time in three years.
He ran 8,000 meters in 26:54.21 — the fastest at this meet since 2003.
His winning margin of nearly 45 seconds was larger than the previous four GCAC Championships combined.
Pieri was All-GCAC for the fourth straight year and never finished lower than fourth in this event.
Both the Gold Nuggets and the Gold Rush recorded the first perfect team scores
at the GCAC Championships since 1996. Both won team championships for the seventh consecutive year.
Both XU teams will conclude the season Nov. 17 in the
NAIA National Championships at Vancouver, Wash. The Nuggets and Rush qualified for nationals for the
second consecutive year and the fourth time in five seasons.
