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)

story
Sustained Success:
Xavier's women won the last six Gulf Coast Athletic Conference team championships
— 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 — and had two of the last three GCAC individual champions:
Ebony Harding in 2009 and Zahri Jackson in 2011.
The Drive for Degrees:
Of the 18 senior female and male student-athletes to run for Coach Joseph Moses,
16 received degrees from Xavier. The other two are completing the six-year program in the
College of Pharmacy.
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 have accounted for eight of the Gold Nuggets' fastest 5K times
this season. XU records
Recruiting:
Catherine Fakler
of Phoenix, Ariz., Zahri Jackson
of Kingwood, Texas, and Darian Towns
of Memphis, Tenn., signed for 2011. Also enrolled and on the team is Hali Yarmush
of Houma, La. All four were all-conference for Xavier in 2011. Xavier has yet to sign anyone for 2012.
