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)

Xavier's Rolland qualifies for nationals in outdoor opener
March 2, 2013
Results (PDF file)
NEW ORLEANS — Devinn Rolland qualified Saturday
for the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, and Xavier
University of Louisiana had three event winners in the Tulane Team
Challenge at Tad Gormley Stadium.
The meet was Xavier's first of the outdoor season.
Rolland, a sophomore, finished second in the women's long jump
with a mark of 18 feet, 7 inches to exceed the NAIA's A-qualifying standard
by nearly three inches. She was an NAIA All-American in this event in 2012
after placing sixth at the national meet.
Winning events for Xavier were sophomore Zahri Jackson in
the women's 1,500-meter run (4 minutes, 48.71 seconds), sophomore Catherine Fakler
in the women's 800 (2:26.42) and freshman Christopher Kennie in the men's
long jump. Kennie's jump of 22-7 was better than the winning mark at last
year's Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championships.
Earning second-place finishes was the women's 400
relay team of Chelsea James, Chartia Hurt, Tayler Louis and Rolland (49.83),
Kennie in the triple jump (41-1¾) and Kwame Jackson in the men's 3,000 (9:29.74).
Xavier's women scored 49 points to finish fourth out of six
teams, and the men scored 33 points to finish sixth out of six teams. Tulane won
both team titles.
"This was a good start for us," XU coach Joseph Moses
said. "We competed well on a very cold day with a lot of wind and not much sun.
We're going to improve on these marks and qualify some more folks for
nationals this season."
Xavier will compete next Saturday in the McNeese Cowboy
Relays at Lake Charles, La.
