2007 Recap:   The Gold Nuggets won the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference team championship for the second consecutive year and finished fourth out of 11 teams in the NAIA Region XIII Championships. The Nuggets were ranked eighth in the region entering the meet but beat four schools ranked ahead of them — Brenau, Spring Hill, Reinhardt and Southern Wesleyan — at the regional meet.

Rankings:   Xavier received a school-record 14 points in the preseason NAIA national poll announced August 19 and was 32nd among the 44 schools which received votes. But since then the Nuggets received one point, and it came in the September 16 poll. The Nuggets are second in the GCAC rankings of September 29 after being No. 1 in the preseason and in the first three regular-season rankings. Belhaven's finish ahead of Xavier in the Rhodes Invitational moved the Nuggets down.

Harding Has It:   Junior Ebony Harding has two years of eligibility of remaining but ranks with Katrina Davis among the Nuggets' most celebrated harriers. Harding was the GCAC runner-up in 2006 and 2007 and is the only Xavier runner, male or female, to make the All-Louisiana team twice. Harding was on the All-NAIA Region XIII second team in 2006 and 2007.
