     Conference championships and coach-of-the-year awards have become synonymous with Joseph Moses Jr., who's in his eighth year at Xavier University of Louisiana and his seventh 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 and 2010, each time by margins of 17 or more points. He was GCAC women's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 and Louisiana women's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2008 and 2009.
     His men's teams have been similarly stellar, winning GCAC championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Moses was the GCAC men's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and Louisiana men's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
     Highlights of Moses' tenure as the Gold Nuggets' coach also include 16 All-GCAC runners — eight were honored multiple times — and a combined winning record (19-13) 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.
     In 2010-11 Brianna Dekine, a two-time All-GCAC runner, became the first XU female athlete selected to a Capital One Academic All-District team.
     A combined 18 of 20 female and male seniors have received degrees from Xavier or are still enrolled during Moses' tenure.
     Xavier was one of 12 schools — and one of two from the South — to qualify its women's and men's teams for the NAIA National Championships in 2008 and 2009.
     Moses also is Xavier's strength and conditioning coach for all seven of the school's intercollegiate teams. He is Xavier's NAIA Champions of Character coordinator, and he was chairman of the GCAC cross country coaches during the 2010-11 academic year.
     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 15-year-old son, Joseph Moses III.
