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)

She long-jumped 5.66 meters (18 feet, 7 inches) to meet the NAIA's A-standard and
finish second out of eight competitors. She also ran anchor on Xavier's
400-meter relay team which finished second in 49.83 seconds.
Jackson, a sophomore from Kingwood, Texas, and a
graduate of Kingwood Park High School, won the women's track award after running 1,500 meters in 4 minutes,
48.71 seconds at the Tulane meet to finish first in a field of 11.
Winning GCAC awards is nothing new for Jackson, who shares the conference's
women's cross country record with eight awards.

Holy Cross High School, won the men's field award after long-jumping 6.88 meters (22 feet, 7 inches)
