 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.

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.

"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."
