Ole Miss Rifle’s Gogniat and Dinh Named CRCA All-Americans

OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss rifle’s Audrey Gogniat and Gracie Dinh have been named All-Americans by the Collegiate Rifle Coaches’ Association, marking a standout season for the Rebels.

Gogniat received first-team honors in smallbore, air rifle, and overall aggregate, after ranking among the top 10 shooters in the nation by average. She set school records in all three disciplines, including a season-high average of 591.5 in smallbore and 598.4 in air rifle. Gogniat also defended her NCAA air rifle title and became the first Rebel to shoot over 590 in smallbore in a season.

Meanwhile, Dinh was a second-team All-American in all three disciplines. Her season saw significant improvement, with personal bests in both smallbore and air rifle. Dinh became just the third athlete in NCAA history to shoot four perfect 600s in air rifle, tying the Ole Miss record. She also set a personal smallbore record of 596 and posted an NCAA second-best aggregate score of 1196 during the season opener against Murray State.

This is the seventh consecutive season Ole Miss has produced at least one All-American, dating back to 2020. Gogniat’s recognition marked her first, while Dinh earned her third, fourth, and fifth All-American accolades in her career. Gogniat is the 14th All-American in Ole Miss history, with Dinh being the 13th last season.

The CRCA honors the top 20 individual performers in each discipline. Ole Miss’s rifle program continues to excel, with both athletes contributing to the team’s historic success this season.
