Wray, Williams, Buchanan repeat as GCAC honorees

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Shalysa Wray, Calah Williams and Shane Buchanan are repeat winners of Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week awards in track and field. All were honored for performances April 1-7.
     
All three won for the second consecutive week, with Wray winning in women's track for the third time this season and Williams winning in women's field for the third time in her career. Buchanan won in men's track.
     
Wray, a freshman from Waterford Portmore, Jamaica, and a graduate of St. Jago School, produced an NAIA A-qualifying time of 11.87 seconds Saturday in the 100-meter dash at the McNeese Spring Time Classic in Lake Charles, La. Wray finished second out of 18 sprinters and became the first XULA woman in three years to finish in less than 12 seconds.
     
Wray also anchored XULA's second A-qualifying time this season in the 400 relay. The Gold Nuggets finished second in 46.62. Wray has qualified for nationals in five events.
     
Williams, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, La., and a graduate of Woodlawn High School, finished ninth at McNeese in the discus (34.05 meters/111 feet, 8 1/2 inches) and 12th in the shot put (9.90 meters/32 feet, 5 3/4 inches).
     
Buchanan, a freshman from Kingston, Jamaica, and a graduate of Kingston College, produced his first collegiate victory when he ran XULA's fastest 5,000-meter time — 16:18.67 — in six years. He placed eighth in the 1,500 in 4:12.60.
     
Next for XULA will be the GCAC Championships April 17-18 at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans.

Goreau, Chikhaoui receive GCAC weekly awards

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana tennis standouts Charlene Goreauand Samir Chikhaoui are Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Players of the Week for April 1-7.
     
Goreau, a senior from Toulouse, France, moved up to the first court during the weekend for her final two home matches as a Gold Nugget, and she responded with four victories in as many attempts to lead XULA to team victories against NAIA top-10s William Carey and LSU-Alexandria. Goreau's final victory of the weekend ws a 6-1, 6-4 decision against LSUA's Miljana Milojevic, a second-team All-American a year ago.
     
Not only did Chikhaoui, a junior from Lille, France, provide the clinching victory in a 5-4 win Saturday against No. 6 William Carey, he also became the first to beat Atikan Juprang in dual-match singles. Juprang was 15-0 over the last two seasons — 8-0 in 2019 — before losing 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 to Chikhaoui. In doubles, Chikhaoui and Pierre Andrieu won 8-4.
     
It also was a big week academically for Chikhaoui, who was honored at XULA's Division of Business awards banquet for the highest GPA among junior finance majors, then was named three days later a first-team Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar.
     
The GCAC weekly awards are the 14th for Goreau — extending her league career record in that sport — and fifth all-time for Chikhaoui.
     
The third-ranked Gold Nuggets (15-4) and seventh-ranked Gold Rush (13-6) are idle until April 18 when they visit Mobile, whose women are ranked 11th and men are 15th.
