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)

Jackson, a sophomore from Kingwood, Texas, and a
graduate of Kingwood Park High School, was part of two NAIA season-best
performances Saturday at the LSU Relays in Baton Rouge, La. Jackson ran 800
meters in 2 minutes, 12:01 seconds, and she teamed with Rolland,
Tramaine Shannon and Chartia Hurt for 3:54.13 in the 1,600 relay.
Both times are the only NAIA A-standard qualifying marks in those
events so far this outdoor season.
Rolland, a sophomore from Harvey, La., and a graduate of
Cabrini High School, long jumped 18 feet, 2½ inches to meet the NAIA's
B-standard. She has met the A-standard three times this season in this
event.
Svoboda, a junior from Kamenice, Czech Republic, and a
graduate of Vitezna Plan High School, won in doubles and singles in Xavier's
only dual match of the week, a 4-3 victory at NCAA Division I's University of
New Orleans on Wednesday. Svoboda and Nikita Soifer clinched the doubles point with
an 8-5 decision against Abdelrahman Zaki and Hossam Meligy, and Svoboda rallied
to beat Meligny 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2 in singles and tie the dual at 3.
Xavier's track teams are idle this week but will resume
competition April 5 in the Mississippi College Twilight Invitational and
April 13 in the GCAC Championships at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans.
Both XU tennis teams are in Florida for duals with Webber International
on Tuesday, Northwood on Wednesday and Embry-Riddle on Thursday.
