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 Rolland stands out again in Louisiana Classics meet
March 16, 2013
Results (PDF file)
LAFAYETTE, La. — Xavier University of Louisiana sophomore
Devinn Rolland qualified for the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
on Friday in the women's 200-meter dash, then won the long jump Saturday in the Louisiana
Classics meet.
Rolland finished second out of 52 runners, most of them
from NCAA Division I schools, in 24.52 seconds in the 200. She exceeded the
NAIA's A-qualifying standard in that event by nearly a half-second.
McNeese State's Jasmine Webb won in 24.24, and Kala Funderburk of Memphis
was third in 24.53.
Rolland jumped 5.69 meters — 18 feet, 8 inches
— on her final attempt to win the long jump by 5½ inches over runner-up
Tia Mitchell of Louisiana-Lafayette. The victory was her first of the season
and the Gold Nuggets' third. Twenty-six competed.
Rolland has reached
the NAIA's A-standard in the long jump in all three meets of the outdoor season.
She met the B-standard in the 100 a week ago.
Rolland was one of just two female athletes to
record a pair of top-two finishes at this meet. The other was McNeese
State's La'Shantena Rounds, who placed second in the hammer and shot put.
Also recording XU women's personal bests for the season were
Chelsea James in the 100 (12.34) and 200 (26.64), Tayler Louis in the
200 (27.61), Chartia Hurt in the 400 (58.61), Tramaine Shannon in the
400 (1:00.67) and Catherine Fakler in the 1,500 (4:51.30) and 5,000 (18:57.79).
For the Gold Rush, Kwame Jackson ran the 5,000 in a season-best 16:46.67.
Fakler placed third in the 5,000, and Christopher Kennie was fifth in the
men's long jump (6.48 meters/21-3¼).
There was no team scoring.
Xavier will compete next Friday and Saturday in the LSU
Relays at Baton Rouge, La.
