XULA receives all four GCAC weekly awards
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana won all four Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week awards in track and field for March 25-31.XULA's recipients are Shalysa Wray in women's track, Calah Williams in women's field, Shane Buchanan in men's track and Edward Angel in men's field.
Wray, a freshman from Waterford Portmore, Jamaica, and a graduate of St. Jago High School, broke the school record in the 400-meter dash for the second consecutive meet. Her time of 55.27 seconds placed her third in that event at the Southern Miss Invitational and gave her the No. 3 time on the NAIA's 2019 outdoor list. Wray won the 200 in 24.81 seconds and is No. 7 on the NAIA season list.
Wray's 200 time was an NAIA B-qualifying mark. She has qualified for the national meet in four events; the others are the 400, 400 relay and 1,600 relay.
Williams, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, La., and a graduate of Woodlawn High School, finished 14th at Southern Miss in the discus (27.76 meters/91 feet, 1 inch) and shot put (9.72 meters/31 feet, 10 3/4 inches). She is a GCAC weekly winner for the first time this season and the second time in her career.
Buchanan, a freshman from Kingston, Jamaica, and a graduate of Kingston College, produced two top-4 finishes. He was second in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 9 minutes, 46.13 seconds — he was the first collegiate finisher in that race — and he was fourth in the 1,500 in 4:06.29. This is Buchanan's first GCAC weekly award.
Angel, a sophomore from Fulshear, Texas, and a graduate of Seven Lakes High School, won his first GCAC award of the season and fourth of his career. He tied for second in the high jump and cleared 1.93 meters/6 feet, 4 inches. An NAIA All-American a year ago, Angel has finished second or first in every meet this year.
XULA will compete Saturday in the McNeese Spring Time Classic at Lake Charles, La. Field events will start at 9 a.m., and the first track event is scheduled for 10 a.m. It will be XULA's fourth meet of the outdoor season.

6 Ashe Sports Scholars; Jones, Chikhaoui on 1st team
NEW ORLEANS — Six student-athletes from Xavier University of Louisiana — including first-team selections Janelle Jones (women's track and field) and Samir Chikhaoui (men's tennis) — have been named Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars for the 2018-19 academic year.
Diverse Issues in Higher Education — a magazine based in Fairfax, Va., and sponsor of the awards since the mid-1990s — announced the honorees Thursday. Criteria for the awards include being a person of color with a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 through the fall 2018 semester. Honorees must have completed one full academic year at the nominating institution and have a demonstrated record of service to the campus or community.
Jones, a senior from Baton Rouge, La., and a graduate of Episcopal High School, was honored for the third consecutive year and made the first team for the second straight year. Another three-time honoree, all on the second team, is Brianna Pace (women's cross country/track and field), a senior from Junction City, Kan., and a graduate of Junction City High School.
Chikhaoui is a junior from Lille, France. His high school was St. Remi, and he also competed at two-year Eastern Florida State before transferring to XULA.
XULA's other three Ashe scholars all are two-time selections: Maya Trench (women's basketball third team), Yi Chen Pao (women's tennis third team) and Khalil McCoy (men's basketball second team). Trench is a junior from Edgard, La., and a graduate of West St. John High School, Pao is a junior from Taichung City, Taiwan and a graduate of National Shan-Hua, and McCoy is a sophomore from Suwanee, Ga. — it's his first year in the College of Pharmacy — and a graduate of Newnan High School.
Diverse Issues raised the minimum GPA from 3.2 a year ago.
