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.
Shaner helped lead the Rebels to a third-place finish overall, while taking home the program's first smallbore title. Additionally, Audrey Gogniat defended her national title in air rifle, surging to win the event en route to CRCA All-American honors alongside teammate Gracie Dinh.
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 TCU
The No. 6 TCU rifle program is off and running in 2026, as winners of three straight over Army, UTEP and The Citadel. Head coach Karen Monez is one of the longest tenured coaches in the nation and continues to lead a dynamic program that has won four national titles under her watch. The Horned Frogs are led by junior Marissa Fedora, who is averaging a 1184.0 aggregate score, ranking No. 12 in the nation. Fellow junior and All-American Rylie Passmore is another key piece, ranking right alongside Fedora, particularly in air rifle, where she averages a 596.
