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)

Sustained Success:
Xavier's women won the last seven Gulf Coast Athletic Conference team championships
— 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 — and had three of the last four GCAC individual champions:
Ebony Harding in 2009 and Zahri Jackson in 2011 and 2012.
The Drive for Degrees:
Of the 23 senior female and male student-athletes to run for Coach Joseph Moses,
21 received degrees from Xavier.
Time Crunch:
Prior to the 2011, only one Xavier female, Ebony Harding, had run 5,000 meters in less than
20 minutes. Harding did it four times — three times as a senior in 2009 and once as a junior
in 2008. Then came 2011 and the Gold Nuggets' youth movement. And move they did — three times freshman
Zahri Jackson bettered Harding's '09 record of 19:26, and freshman Catherine Fakler also recorded three sub-20s.
Add freshman Hali Yarmush's 20:03.6, and the result is that freshmen accounted for eight of the Gold Nuggets' 12 fastest 5K times
in 2011. XU records
