Nuggets and Rush to compete at GCAC Championships
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana will take aim at more Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championships Wednesday and Thursday at the league's track and field meet.
This is the 10th season of GCAC track championships, and NOLA's Tad Gormley Stadium is the venue for the eighth consecutive year. Wednesday competition will be limited to the hammer at 2 p.m., the javelin at 4:30 and the 10,000-meter run at 6:45. Thursday's schedule will start at 10 a.m., with the majority of the track events from 2 to 4:45 p.m.
Admission to the meet is free. Weather website darksky.net forecasts mostly cloudy skies and a high of 77 degrees Wednesday, followed by more clouds and a high of 79 Thursday.
XULA's women seek their seventh GCAC team title; they won it five times in the last six years, including 2017 and 2018. XULA's lone GCAC men's title was in 2004, but the Gold Rush's 123 points and second-place finish a year ago were the best for that program since '04.
The Gold Nuggets' returning individual champions from 2018 are Taylor Price in the 5,000 and 10,000, Raven Davis in the 100 hurdles, Maliya Vaughan in the 3,000 steeplechase, Calah Williams in the discus, Tamia Scott in the javelin, Ry-Anne Riley in the long jump and Alysia Terry in the triple jump. Vaughan scored in five events and led the Gold Nuggets with 32 points a year ago to help XULA set a GCAC women's meet record with 258 points.
Another Gold Nugget to watch will be freshman Shalysa Wray, who has qualified for next month's NAIA National Championships in five events: the 100, 200, 400, 400 relay and 1,600 relay. On the list of 2019 NAIA outdoor season performances, Wray ranks fourth in the 400, seventh in the 100 and 12th in the 200.
There are no returning individual champions from 2018 for the XULA men. Keairez Coleman was the triple jump champion in 2017. Evan Simmons placed second in the discus and hammer in 2018.
Edward Waters will seek its fifth consecutive GCAC men's team title.
The top three finishers in each event will earn All-GCAC recognition.
XULA has won five GCAC team championships in 2018-19: volleyball regular season and tournament, men's cross country, women's cross country and women's basketball regular season. XULA has not won six GCAC/unaffiliated group championships since its eight in 2013-14.
