OXFORD, Miss. - Freshman Mary Ann Banks of the Ole Miss women's rifle team won the award for High Prone Shooter, with a total score of 200 including 19 center shots, to lead the Rebels at the GARC Championships Sunday at the Patricia C. Lamar National Guard Readiness Center.

The Rebels finished fourth in the team standings with an aggregate score of 4625. The team shot a 2299 in Smallbore and a 2326 in Air Rifle. Junior Keely Stankey was the highest finisher for the Rebels, with a total of 1158 for 16th place. Sophomore Kim Coffey was right behind Stankey with an 1157.

"We had a good end to our season. We bounced back after our last match (NCAA Sectional)," said this year's GARC Coach of the Year, Valerie Boothe. "Today, we didn't post our best score, but we still ended the season really well. We are proud of Mary Ann for being the High Prone Shooter."

West Virginia cleaned up at the GARC Championships, winning the team title with a 4704 aggregate score, which tied the NCAA record. They also claimed the top three spots in the individual standings. WVU's Nicco Campriani was the overall winner with an 1188 combined score.

The Rebels concluded one of their best seasons in the history of the program setting several school records along the way, including the highest team score (4654) in a match against Kentucky.
