     Conference championships and coach-of-the-year awards have become synonymous with Joseph Moses Jr., who's in his sixth year at Xavier University of Louisiana and his fifth as the women's and men's cross country coach.
     His women's teams won Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championships in 2006, 2007 and 2008, each time by margins of 17 or more points. He was GCAC women's Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2007 and Louisiana women's Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2008.
     His men's teams have been similarly stellar, winning GCAC championships in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Moses was the GCAC men's Coach of the Year and Louisiana men's Coach of the Year each of the past three seasons.
     Highlights of Moses' tenure as the Gold Nuggets' coach also include 10 All-GCAC runners — five were honored multiple times — and a combined winning record (14-7) against two NCAA Division I conferences: the Southwestern Athletic and the Mid-Eastern Athletic. His 2006 Xavier women produced a school-record six All-GCAC runners, and the 2008 team qualified for the NAIA National Championships for the first time since 2002.
     Moses also is Xavier's strength and conditioning coach for all six of the school's intercollegiate teams.
     Prior to Xavier, Moses was the men's track and cross country coach at Independence Community College in Independence, Kan., and coached an All-America javelin thrower. He also was the men's track and cross country coach for two seasons at Charleston Southern University in Charleston, S.C. There he guided 13 athletes to All-Big South Conference honors.
     Moses competed on LSU's track and field team from 1988-91 as a sprinter (100- and 200-meter dashes, 4 x 100 relay) and was a member of the Tigers' 1989 NCAA indoor and outdoor championship squads. He received his bachelor of fine arts degree from LSU in 1994.
     Moses has USA Track and Field Level 1 coaching certification. He was born April 8, 1968, in Baton Rouge, La. Moses married the former Kendra O'Bannon of Chico, Calif., on May 26, 2007, and he has an 13-year-old son, Joseph Moses III.
