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)

Conference championships and coach-of-the-year awards have
become synonymous with Joseph Moses Jr., who's in his ninth year at Xavier University of Louisiana and
his eighth as the women's and men's cross country coach.
His women's teams won Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, each time by margins of 17 or more
points. He was GCAC women's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and Louisiana
women's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011. No other coach has won the
Louisiana award more than twice.
His men's teams have been similarly stellar, winning GCAC
championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Moses was the GCAC men's Coach of the Year
in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and Louisiana men's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Highlights of Moses' tenure as the Gold Nuggets' coach also include 20
All-GCAC runners — nine were honored multiple times — and a combined winning record
(28-14) against two NCAA Division I conferences: the Southwestern Athletic and the Mid-Eastern Athletic.
His Xavier women produced a program-record six All-GCAC runners in 2006, and they beat that
mark with seven all-conference runners in 2010. The 2008 team
qualified for the NAIA National Championships for the first time since 2002.
Brianna Dekine, a two-time All-GCAC runner, in 2010-11 became the
first XU female athlete selected to a Capital One Academic All-District team.
A combined 21 of 25 female and male seniors have received
degrees from Xavier or are still enrolled during Moses' tenure.
Xavier was one of 10 current members — and one of two from the South
— to qualify its women's and men's teams three or more times apiece for the NAIA National Championships
from 2008-11. The Gold Nuggets qualified in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Moses also is Xavier's strength and conditioning coach for all nine of the
school's intercollegiate teams and the coach of XU's men's and women's track and field teams.
His women won the GCAC outdoor track and field championship in 2011. Moses is Xavier's NAIA Champions of
Character coordinator and a rater on the NAIA top 25 men's and women's polls.
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 16-year-old son, Joseph Moses III, and an infant daughter, Gabrielle Amaya, born in 2012.
