Tenth-year head coach Joseph Moses announced the schedules Tuesday. Both the Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets are eight-time defending champions of the GCAC.
Xavier will play host to the GCAC Championships on Oct. 18 at City Park, with team and individual champions qualifying automatically for the NAIA National Championships at Lawrence, Kan., on Nov. 22. It will be the first time since 2003 that New Orleans is the site of the GCAC meet.
The other City Park meet will be the Xavier Big Easy Opener on Aug. 29. It will be the first time since 2007 that the Rush and Nuggets compete in their home city.
For the first time since 2010, XU teams will compete four times in Louisiana. Xavier will run at the LSU Invitational in Baton Rouge on Sept. 20 and the McNeese Cowboy Stampede in Lake Charles on Sept. 27.
Xavier's second meet — one of four before the conference meet — will be the Azalea City Classic at Mobile, Ala., on Sept. 12.
Xavier returns both 2013 GCAC individual champions, Catherine Fakler and Kwame Jackson. Also back is Jackson's sister Zahri, a GCAC individual champion in 2011 and 2012.
