2025-26 in Review
Under head coach Will Shaner, the Ole Miss rifle program recorded a historic season, going 10-2 and winning the national title in smallbore among several achievements.

The Rebels delivered another 10-win campaign, going 10-2 overall while earning several key victories along the way. As a result, the Rebels spent time as the No. 1 team in the nation in November.
Back-to-Back Champ
Audrey Gogniat returns for another season leading the way for the Rebels. The Le Noirmont, Switzerland native defended her individual national air rifle title at the NCAA Championship, scoring a 251 in the final round and becoming the first NCAA athlete to repeat as NCAA Air Rifle champion since 2012 and 2013.
Scouting the Field
