NEW ORLEANS — Mikayla Bates of women's basketball and Keairez Coleman of men's track and field were Xavier University of Louisiana's 2018-19 Medal of Honor recipients Wednesday evening during Athletic Honors Night, a department ceremony which honored all nine XULA teams.
The Medal of Honor was presented to the senior female and male student-athlete who best define the qualities of scholarship, athletics, leadership and service.
Bates, from Baton Rouge, La., and a graduate of University Lab School, was voted to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference All-Defensive team each of the past two seasons. An accounting major, Allen is a two-time Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar, a two-time Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete, a three-year member of the GCAC Honor Roll and a four-year member of XULA's Sister Grace Mary Flickinger Honor Roll. Bates was XULA's Female Junior Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2017-18.
During the summer of 2017, Bates was selected one of Northwestern Mutual's top 10 interns nationwide.
Coleman, a biology major from Harrisville, Miss., and a graduate of Mendenhall High School, scored points for the Gold Rush in three events during four years of competition at the GCAC Outdoor Championships, including a triple jump title in 2017 and a runner-up finish in 2016. He was All-GCAC three consecutive years. Coleman is a two-time Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar and a three-time Flickinger Honor Roll member. This past summer he was a McNair Scholar in the University of Southern California Division of Biokinesiology/Physical Therapy.
The other eight awards were evenly divided by four teams. Women's tennis, women's track and field, men's basketball and men's tennis received two honors apiece.

• Female Newcomer of the Year: Wray . . . Finalists were Angelica De Vincenzis, tennis (Montebelluna, Italy/Primo Levi School) and Beatrice Formilan, volleyball (Santorso, Italy/Liceo Scientifico Tron).
The event began with a half-hour social with food on the concourse of the Convocation Center. That was followed by awards on the floor level of the facility, where XULA President Dr. Reynold Verret and Horn addressed the student-athletes and guests.
"Xavier is proud of our student-athletes and how well they balance the demands of academics and athletics," Horn said. "This was another great night to celebrate our department's accomplishments. We were blessed to have many championships and accomplishments during the year."

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Jason Horn has been unanimously chosen to serve a two-year term as president of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference by the league's executive committee, effective immediately.
Horn — XULA's assistant vice president for student affairs / director of athletics and recreation — was selected during GCAC meetings at the NAIA National Convention April 11-15 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Horn recently began his sixth year at XULA. He most recently served the GCAC as vice president and as chair of the athletic directors. Horn's peers selected him as GCAC Athletic Director of the Year for 2016-17.
"Jason is a well-respected athletic director in the GCAC and across the country," Dillard Athletics Director and GCAC Interim Commissioner Dr. Kiki Barnes said. "His election as president will solidify our leadership team. I am excited to work with him in this next chapter for the GCAC."
Horn is a Detroit native and a graduate of the University of Michigan. He is on the board of directors of the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association (MOAA) and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation. Horn is a member of the NAIA's National Administrative Council (NAC), Tennis Selection Committee and Competitive Experience Committee. Horn also participates on several national working groups within the NAIA.
XULA is a longtime member of the NAIA and the GCAC. XULA sponsors intercollegiate teams in women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's tennis, men's outdoor track and field, women's indoor and outdoor track and field and co-ed competitive cheer.
