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)

Results (PDF file)
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Catherine Fakler,
Devinn Rolland and Hannah Finnegan combined for 100 points Saturday to lead the
Gold Nuggets to the women's team title in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Tad Gormley Stadium.
It's the second team championship in three years for
the Gold Nuggets, who won 8-of-19 events and outscored runner-up Edward Waters 184-175.
Edward Waters, led by freshman Kendal Thompson's three
victories in throwing events, repeated as men's champion with 212 points.
Dillard was second with 188.
Fakler and Rolland, both sophomores, won three events
each. Fakler won the 1,500- and 5,000-meter runs — she repeated as 1,500
champion — and set a meet record of 12 minutes, 20.90 seconds in the
3,000 steeplechase. She also placed second in the 800 and ran the anchor leg
of the Nuggets' runner-up 3,200 relay team. Fakler finished with a meet-high 40 points.
Rolland scored 34 points and repeated as champion of
the 100, 200 and long jump. She reached A-qualifying standards for the NAIA
National Championships in all three events and on the runner-up 400 relay
team with Chelsea James, Chartia Hurt and SiMon Franklin. Rolland long-jumped
18 feet, 9¼ inches to break her meet record, and she ran the opening leg of
the runner-up 1,600 relay team, which also included Tramaine Shannon, Hurt and Franklin.
Finnegan, a freshman, didn't win an event but placed
second in the 1,500, 5,000 and steeplechase and ran the opening leg of the
3,200 relay to score 26 points. Hali Yarmush and Donyé Coleman also competed
on the relay.
Franklin won the 400 in 56.74 and met the NAIA'a
A-qualifying standard, and teammate Angelica Alexander hit four of her first
five attempts to outlast Dillard's Jonquil Griffin and Edward Waters' Breana
Levine and win the high jump at 5-1¾.
Xavier was fourth in the men's scoring with 53 points.
Winning for the Gold Rush were Kwame Jackson in the 1,500 and 5,000 —
he repeated as 5,000 champion — and David Holobowicz with a meet-record
10:39.89 in the steeplechase.
Earning runner-up finishes for Xavier were Holobowicz
in the 1,500, Christopher Kennie in the men's high jump and long jump and
Paige Gauthier in the women's shot put.
The top three finishers in each event were designated
All-GCAC. The Nuggets had four third-place performers: James in the women's
100, Coleman in the 5,000, Chelsea Broussard in the triple jump and Loryn
Darthard in the discus.
Double winners in the women's division included
Lynetta Cook of Edward Waters as a repeat champion in the discus and hammer
and SUNO's Adriana Brown with meet-record and NAIA A-qualifying times in the
100 hurdles and 400 hurdles.
Edward Waters won nine men's events, including Ralphael
Shuler in the 100 and 200. SUNO's Warith Fennoy won the men's long and triple
jumps. Dillard's Jevonte Ezzard won the 400 and was the men's high scorer with
32½ points.
The Nuggets' victory is the latest in an eight-year
run in which Xavier has won 44 GCAC and NAIA unaffiliated group team championships.
It was the 16th team title for coach Joseph Moses, whose men's and women's
cross country teams won seven consecutive titles apiece from 2006-12. XU's
top-10 tennis teams will attempt to add to the championship total next week
in an unaffiliated group qualifying tournament at Jonesboro, Ga.
