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)

on the 2012 All-Louisiana women's cross country team announced late Friday,

which also was announced Friday.
Jackson, a sophomore from Kingwood, Texas, and a
graduate of Kingwood Park High School, won the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
individual championship for the second consecutive year — this time in a
school-record 18 minutes, 54.69 seconds for 5,000 meters — and led the Gold Nuggets
to their seventh consecutive GCAC team title.
Jackson was GCAC Runner of the Week three times and tied
the league's women's career record with eight Runner of the Week awards. Her time at the

GCAC meet was the second fastest there since 1999. She is the first female in at
least 13 seasons to win the GCAC individual championship as a freshman and sophomore.
Moses, in his eighth season at Xavier,
led the Nuggets to another GCAC title and, for the fourth time in five years,
a berth in the NAIA national meet. The XU women were 33-9 entering nationals,
including a victory against Seton Hall of the Big East Conference, and posted the GCAC's
first perfect score at the women's league meet since 1996.
Moses won the Louisiana
coaching award for the second consecutive year, the fourth time in five years and
the fifth time in seven years. He is the only Louisiana coach to win the women's award more than twice.
A Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel selected the teams.
