Rifle Selected to Host 2026 Patriot Rifle Conference Tournament
7/21/2025 | Rifle
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss rifle and Oxford, Mississippi, have been selected to host the 2026 Patriot Rifle Conference Tournament at the Ole Miss rifle Range from Feb. 7-8, head coach Will Shaner announced Monday.
This is the first time the Rebels have hosted a conference tournament since the 2020-21 season, when they were members of the Great American Rifle Conference. In total, Ole Miss has been the host of eight GARC Tournaments since 2010. With the 2025-26 season set to be Ole Miss' second in the PRC, it marks the first time it has hosted the conference tournament.
The Rebels boast a talented group of young super stars, including rising sophomores Audrey Gogniat, Gracie Dinh and Jordan de Jesus, and are expected to compete for a team title in Shaner's first season at the helm. Juniors Regan Diamond and Gretchen Schleinkofer will serve as veteran leadership for the young team.
In last season's tournament, Gogniat swept the individual smallbore and air rifle titles, becoming the first Rebel in program history to claim the aggregate title as a member of either conference. As a team, Ole Miss earned the silver medal in aggregate scoring and smallbore, while taking the bronze in air rifle. Four Rebels reached the top eight in the smallbore standings.
The tournament is slated to take place from Feb. 7-8 and will be at the Ole Miss Rifle Range. The first day of competition will feature the smallbore event, with the second day concluding competition with air rifle. The team with the highest aggregate total will claim the outright title, with the top-scoring team per event will be that event's champion.
