Pieri Signs with Gold Rush Senior distance runner, Matt Pieri signed a cross country scholarship Wednesday with Xavier University of New Orleans. Matt Pieri finished fourth in the 2007 Class 5A state meet and ninth in the 2008 meet. He helped Brother Martin win the 5A state championship in 2007 and finish third this year. "He will be one of our team's top three runners his freshman year," Xavier coach Joseph Moses said. "He will be a difference-maker at some point, depending on how quickly he adjusts from high school to college competition." As a junior in outdoor track this past spring,
Pieri finished third in the 3,200-meter run (9:58.04) in the Region III-5A meet and fourth in the District 10-5A meet. He helped Brother Martin win team championships in both events.
