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 Jackson, tops in 2 NAIA events, wins national award
Zahri Jackson

March 27, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of
Louisiana's Zahri Jackson was selected NAIA National Women's Outdoor Track
Athlete of the Week, the NAIA announced Wednesday.
Jackson, a sophomore from Kingwood, Texas, and a graduate of
Kingwood Park High School, won for March 18-24 after producing NAIA season-best
times Saturday in the 800-meter run (2 minutes, 12:01 seconds) and the
1,600-meter relay (3:54.13) at the LSU Relays in
Baton Rouge, La.
Both times are the only ones to
meet the A-qualifying standard in those events for the NAIA Outdoor Championships
at Marion, Ind., in May.
They're also the Gold Nuggets' fastest times since Xavier revived its
track and field program in 2010. Jackson ran the second leg of the 1,600
relay and teamed with Devinn Rolland, Tramaine Shannon and Chartia Hurt.
This is the first time an athlete in the XU track or cross country
program has received the NAIA's weekly award.
The Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush are not competing this
week during Xavier's spring break. They'll resume competition April 5 in the
Mississippi College Twilight Invitational at Clinton, Miss., and April 13 in
the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships at Tad Gormley
Stadium in New Orleans. Xavier is the host school for the GCAC meet.
