OVERVIEW: Competitors shoot in three different positions (prone, standing and kneeling) from a distance of 50 ft. with a .22 caliber rifle. The Bull’s-eye, or 10-ring, is one-half millimeter wide, the size of the period at the end of this sentence. RIFLES: By international rules, .22 caliber rifles used in competition can weigh up to 12 lbs. for women and 17 lbs. for men. COURSE OF FIRE FOR AIR RIFLE: Competitors have 115 minutes to fire 60 shots in the standing position. COURSE OF FIRE FOR SMALLBORE: Competitors have 20 minutes to fire 20 shots in prone, 40 minutes to fire 20 shots standing and 30 minutes to fire 20 shots kneeling. There is a 15-minute equipment change period in between stages. SCORING: Each bull on a target is worth a maximum of 10 points which could equal 100. The six targets are added together to make up the total score. A perfect score of 600 is the maximum for both smallbore and air rifle.

SHOOTING TERMS

AIR RIFLE: A gun that uses a .177 caliber lead pellet propelled by a charge of compressed air instead of a gunpowder charge.

BULL: Shortened form of “bull’s-eye.” There are 12 bulls per target, 10 for competition and two for “sighters.” CLEANED: A perfect target, in which the shooter hits a 10 on each of the 10 bulls on the sheet. Can also be used in reference to a perfect match. FRONT SITE: The sight attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle, holding the front aperture. INNER 10: Also known as an “X” achieved when the shot hole is completely inside the 9 ring. IRON SIGHTS: Sights that employ no magnification. KNEELING: Shooting from a kneeling position with the offhand (non-trigger side) supported by the off knee. STANDING: The unsupported standing position (shooting “off the hand” rather than with the nontrigger arm supported on a knee to the floor). PLUG: A metal device the same size as the shot hole, used to score targets. Variations include the “inner plug,” with which the score is determined by the contact point of the innermost portion of the plug, and the “outer plug,” in which the contact point of a small ring on the outermost portion of the hole is used to determine the score. PRONE: Shooting from a lying position. RANGE OFFICER: The person in charge of timing the match and “running the line” (assisting shooters who are having difficulties).

REARSITE: The sight attached near the rear of the gun where adjustments can be made. RECORD SHOTS: Also known as “for record shots,” those shots that are counted toward the match score, with “sighters” not included. RELAY: Shooters firing the match at once at a desig-nated time. SMALLBORE: A .22 caliber gun used in competition. SIGHTERS: Practice shots taken before going for “record shots.” TIE BREAKING: Ties in matches are broken as follows: Smallbore: 1) by the last 10 shot string starting with kneeling 2) by the next 10 shot string working backwards Air Rifle: 1) by the highest score by target in reverse order

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO RIFLE

OLE MISS ROSTER


INTRO

Ole Miss rifle head coach Valerie Boothe has plenty of reasons to be excited. With a strong group of shooters returning, led by senior Keely Stankey and a talented group of six sophomores, Boothe has the Rebels aiming high for the 2011-12 season.

“Last season we didn’t close out the year like we wanted,” said Boothe, the only head coach in Ole Miss rifle history. “Everything was in place for us to succeed, and we while did have a great overall season, we did not have a good day at the NCAA qualifier and that ultimately cost us our goal of reaching the NCAA Championships. However, we have capitalized on that experience coming into this season and have used the momentum from last year as motivation. Everyone has been working so hard and doing so well. It’s so exciting to see what they will be capable of this season.”

The Rebels return nine members of last year’s squad that won six matches and set the single-match scoring record with a total of 4654 against Kentucky. Boothe believes this year’s squad will bring a wealth of experience to the table.

“The girls have definitely matured over the summer and gained some knowledge in training,” said Boothe, the 2011 Great America Rifle Confer-ence Coach of the Year. “They know what to expect at this level, and that will help carry them through the entire season this year. I expect all of them to step up this year. Based on what I have seen over the summer and the amount of training they have put in on the range, there could be a different mix of people in the top five this year because we are so deep.”

Ole Miss’ depth this season starts with Stankey, who returns for her final season in Oxford. Last year, Stankey led the Rebels with a 576.1 average in the smallbore and finished fourth on the team in the air rifle with a 581.7 season average.

“Keely is definitely one of our top shooters, and we need a good final year from her,” Boothe said. “She had a solid year last season, but I think she felt like she didn’t contribute as much as she could. This is her last year, and she will have a really big push to capitalize and finish really strong. I told her to take control and be the steering force to show the rest of the team the direction we need to go in.”

Joining Stankey will be a pair of veterans in juniors Kim Coffey and Emma Holman. Coffey, who earned team MVP honors a year ago, led the Rebels with a 584.6 average in the air and finished second to Stankey with an 1156.0 combined average. Holman also returns after posting season averages of 565.0 in the air and 556.1 in the smallbore.

“Kim is just a great motivator for our team,” said Boothe. “She does a great job training and is always so focused and so driven that it carries through to the rest of them. Emma has gotten much more serious since she first arrived. All the conversations I’ve had with her over the summer have been directed at where our program should be and focused on the team. I think she will bring that leadership factor that we will need and will

keep an eye on everything to make sure everybody is going in the same direction.”

The Rebels also return all six members of last year’s freshman class in MaryAnn Banks, Rena Goodwin, Melissa Quartarone, Kelly Rosales, Ab-bey Stanec and Alivia Yeager to make up a large sophomore class. Boothe believes that the large group is a year wiser and could pay huge dividends for Ole Miss this season.

“This was the largest and most talented freshman class I have had in my time at Ole Miss,” said Boothe, who enters her 16th season at the helm of the Rebel program. “They all have a different style, but bring so much to the table in terms of talent. They all now have a year under their belts and understand what it takes to compete on this stage. This year I think we could see them really jump to that level and make the team even better.”

The only two newcomers this season aren’t really that new to the Ole Miss program. Twin sisters Evalyn and Virginia Holman join sister Emma on the squad and just missed older sibling Meredith, a four-year letterwin-ner who finished her career with the Rebels last year, by one season.

“I am so excited for Evalyn and Virginia to join our team,” said Boothe. “I’m a little anxious about having three sisters on a team, but I’m not worried about the twins because they have been together literally their entire life, so they know how to work well together. They have big shoes to fill if they are going to break into the top five, but we are excited to have new blood on the team. They are very hard workers and come from a very prestigious junior club that is nationally known, so they are not afraid of competition.”

The Rebels also add a full-time assistant coach, as graduate as-sistant coach Natasha Dinsmore slides over in the newly created position.

“So much weight will be lifted from my shoulders by having a person who understands the challenges of our program,” Boothe said. “Natasha came from a great program at West Virginia and brings a great drive and energy for the sport that is contagious. She has been invaluable to our program and will continue to help us reach new levels of success.

“She will move more into the forefront in coaching and will have a bigger role in decisions we make with training. She will be there on a day-to-day basis working with the team, and she has a different experience of coming from a co-ed team to an all girls team. It is nice to have that different perspective so we can study what we are doing in training and how we can improve.”

Boothe believes this season she has all the pieces in place to make the team’s first trip to the NCAA Championships since finishing sixth in the nation in 2006.

“I really like where the program is right now,” Boothe said. “With the talent and depth we have on the team and the support of two full-time coaches, I think we can make our mark on the national stage this year.”

COACHES/STAFF

HEAD COACH

VALERIE BOOTHE16TH YEAR | OLE MISS | 1997

Valerie Boothe, the 2006 National Coach of the Year (Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association), is in her 16th season as head coach of the Ole Miss rifle program. The only coach in school history, Boothe was hired pri-or to the start of the 1996-97 season when rifle became a varsity sport at Ole Miss.

“Valerie is a hard worker who is very passionate about the sport of rifle,” Executive Associate Athletics Director, Lynnette Johnson says. “Her loyalty and dedication have been very obvious over the past 15 years. She is well-respected in her sport and continues to

work to maintain our program in the national spotlight.“This program was built from the ground up, and all of the credit goes to

Valerie. She has been quick to assemble one of the most respected programs in the country. We are very proud to have her as our head coach, and I am excited about our team this year.”

From the start, Boothe had a vision. Knowing that the program would begin as a work-in-progress, she was willing to put in the time and effort for a chance at having long-term success. Now, as the team prepares for its 16th season, it seems as if Boothe’s long hours, positive attitude and patience have paid off.

Last season, Boothe earned Great American Rifle Conference Coach of the Year honors as she helped the Rebels to a fourth-place finish at the GARC Championships and guided freshman MaryAnn Banks to high prone shooter honors at the conference championships. In addition, the team broke the school single-match scoring record with a team aggregate of 4654 against Kentucky.

In 2010, Boothe led the Rebels to another NCAA Qualifier victory and helped sophomore Keely Stankey to a seventh-place finish in the air rifle at the NCAA Championships. It marked the fourth top-10 individual finish at the NCAA Championships for Ole Miss under Boothe.

In 2009, Boothe guided junior Meredith Holman to the school’s third GARC individual champion, as Holman fired a school record mark of 595 in the air rifle to claim the conference crown. In 16 seasons at Ole Miss, Boothe has helped several individuals to a variety of accolades. In 2008, Shannon Wilson became the second Rebel to win a conference title when she claimed the smallbore crown at the GARC Championships. Jennifer Lorenzen claimed the combined title just one year before.

Boothe also Rebels Keely Stankey and Erica Swanson to top-10 finishes in the air rifle at the 2009 U.S. Junior Olympics. She has tutored numerous athletes to success at the Junior Olympic level, including helping lead Wilson to gold in the smallbore at the 2006 U.S. Junior Olympics.

Under Boothe’s watch, Ole Miss Rifle had its most successful season ever in 2005-2006. The Rebels earned their first ever appearance in the NCAA Championships, attained the program’s first NCAA sectional victory and saw Ole Miss set or tie school records for team aggregate, air rifle and smallbore

scoring, as well as individual air rifle and smallbore marks. Shannon Wilson was named the program’s first first-team All-American by the National Rifle As-sociation, and Jennifer Lorenzen picked up her second consecutive All-America honor. In all, Boothe has coached student-athletes to three total All-America honors.

The program has continued to excel both at the range and in the class-room as evidenced by the fact that Boothe has coached 43 different student-athletes to All-Academic honors. In 2009, Meredith Holman was recognized as an All-Academic Student Athlete by the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association. In 2008, Casey Phillips earned second-team ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America honors, the first such honor in program history. Phillips, a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

A native of Livingston, Tenn., Boothe was a collegiate shooter at UT-Martin from 1992 to 1996. She won the Tennessee State Smallbore title in 1994 in addition to capturing four Tennessee State Air Rifle championships from 1993 to 1996. Boothe also competed in the Junior Olympics on four different occasions.

Boothe has served as a member of several national committees, including the NCAA Rifle Committee from 2002-07 and NRA Collegiate Programs Commit-tee. After serving as the NCAA’s interim chairperson in 2003-04, Boothe was promoted to full-time chair the following year.

Boothe, who has served on the Board of Directors for the Family Crisis Services of Northwest Mississippi, earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from Ole Miss in 1997. She also holds an NRA coaches certification and is a member of the Oxford-University Methodist Church.

She and her husband, Christopher, reside in Oxford and have two daugh-ters -- Sarah and Olivia.


COACHES/STAFF

ASSISTANT COACH

NATASHA DINSMORESECOND YEAR | WEST VIRGINIA | 2008

Natasha Dinsmore is in her second season with the Ole Miss rifle program af-ter being promoted to assistant coach in September. Dinsmore served as a gradu-ate assistant for the team last season, after concluding a four-year career on the West Virginia rifle team.

“We are very excited to have Natasha stay with our program on a full-time basis,” said Ole Miss head coach Valerie Boothe. “She brings a great drive and energy for the sport that is contagious. She has been invaluable to our program and will continue to help us reach new levels of success.”

Dinsmore assists Boothe in coaching, recruiting and with administrative duties, as well as in strength and conditioning and organizing team travel.

Dinsmore went to Morgantown as a walk-on student-athlete and left a four-year letterwinner. She took up competitive shooting while visiting Germany on a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship. After falling in love with the sport, Dinsmore turned down a field hockey scholarship to chase her dream of shooting in college.

As part of the Ole Miss rifle program, Dinsmore assists Boothe in recruit-ing and with administrative duties, as well as in strength and conditioning and organizing team travel.

A State College, Pa., native, Dinsmore earned the GARC Academic Award for having the highest GPA on the Mountaineer team in 2006 and was named to the Athletic Academic Honor Roll every semester as a student at WVU. She earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in animal and veterinary Sciences in 2008 and followed that with a Master’s in agriculture, forestry and consumer Sciences in 2010. Dinsmore is currently pursuing a Master’s of Science in exer-cise science with an emphasis in exercise physiology at Ole Miss.

HISTORY/RECORDS

In 1997, four schools came together with the goal of promoting the sport of rifle on the collegiate level. With an emphasis on ways to increase the aware-ness of shooting, those institutions -- Jacksonville State, Kentucky, West Virginia and Xavier -- took the first step by chartering the Great America Rifle Conference (GARC). League competition officially began with the 1997-98 season. Ole Miss became a member of the GARC in 2001-02, joining the four original schools in one of the strongest rifle conferences in the nation. The sport has grown over that time period, with the GARC taking a lead on the national scene. Since its inception, the GARC has had three national cham-pions -- West Virginia in 1998 and 2009, Army in 2006 and Kentucky last year -- and placed 23 teams in the top five of the NCAA Championships over the past nine seasons. A total of eight teams will claim conference ties in 2011-12 as Ole Miss, Army, Kentucky, Memphis, N.C. State, Nebraska, West Virginia and Xavier will compete in the GARC this season.

OLE MISS IN THE JUNIOR OLYMPICS In athletics, the success of a program can often be measured by the results produced during the course of a season. The schedule is examined, scores are tallied and "W’s” and "L’s” are stacked up. But, the true measure of the pieces that comprise a program can be gained by looking beyond the season. What an athlete is able to accomplish in the off-season can give a greater insight into the pieces of the bigger picture. Such is the case with members of the Ole Miss rifle team who have been given opportunities to shine in both the regular season and in individual competitions away from the program. The Rebels have had a tremendous amount of success during their 12 regular seasons under the guidance of head coach Valerie Boothe. But, what the individuals who comprise the Ole Miss rifle program have been able to achieve in the off-season is, without question, a great accomplishment as well. Fifteen members of the program have participated in the Junior Olympics. In 2009, current Rebels Keely Stankey and Colleen Tillson both claimed top 10 finishes in the air rifle, while Meredith Holman placed tenth out of 94 shooters in the air rifle at the 2008 U.S. Junior Olympic Championships. Shannon Wilson added another accomplishment to a stellar season by winning the gold at the 2006 U.S. Junior Olympics women's rifle smallbore competition. Wilson bested 57 shooters to take home first place in the two-day event held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. She won the event with a score of 1251.6 and went on to represent her country at the 2006 World Shooting Championships. In 2005, Jennifer Lorenzen competed in her second Junior Olympics and finished sixth in the 50-meter smallbore. Casey Phillips and Shannon Wilson also competed in 2005. Lorenzen won a bronze medal the year before in the 50-meter smallbore. Other Rebels to compete include: Laura Gavin (2003), Samantha Leach (2003), Mara Polonsky (2003), Megan Roberts (2003), Megan Sandage (2003), Shanda Duval (2002), Katie Trickett (2001) and Maranda Stockton (2000).

ATHLETICS SUPPORT


ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

Prevention. Treatment. Rehabilitation. Education. Those are the four pri-mary phases of athletic training, and the Ole Miss Sports Medicine staff strives to fulfill all four areas when working with the student-athletes on a daily basis. “Our Athletic Trainers are allied healthcare professionals and we strive to provide quality healthcare based on the latest in medical research,” said Shannon Singletary, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine/Strength & Conditioning. “By doing this we hope to not only provide our athletes with a better chance of winning on the field, but also give them an opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle.” Led by a medical director and a full-time director of musculoskeletal medi-cine, Ole Miss student-athletes are offered the best care possible by the Sports Medicine staff, which includes 10 full-time athletic trainers, three graduate assistants and several student assistants. The staff serves the student-athletes nearly around-the-clock and at numerous facilities on campus. The Athletic Trainers begin treatments and rehabilitation as early as 6:30 a.m. and are available until the last student-athlete is through. There are cur-rently five athletic training facilities on campus. The staff treats out of two pri-mary athletic training rooms, in the Indoor Practice Facility and the Starnes Athletic Training Center, with four other satellite athletic training rooms, located at Tad Smith Coliseum, Gillom Center, Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field and the Basketball Practice Facility.

The IPF and Starnes Center training rooms are stocked with equipment such as stationary bikes, hand weights, therapeutic modalities, and recent technology like underwater treadmills and Biodex testing equipment. Each component is strategically designed to not only give the student-athletes the best care, but also to aid in returning them to competition as quickly and safely as possible. Singletary said the emphasis is on the student-athlete’s health, first and fore-most. Ole Miss Sports Medicine has strong working relationships with local physi-cians and Baptist Memorial Hospital, located less than five minutes from the campus. In addition, specialists from the University’s Medical Center in Jackson are often consulted.

OLE MISS SPORTS MEDICINE

REBEL STRENGTH AND CONDITIONINGOBJECTIVE: The primary objective for the University of Mississippi Strength and Conditioning program is to help each athlete be the best they can be. In order to reach this goal, there are several components that must be addressed. There are general needs such as speed, power, agility and strength that must be met for each athlete. But in further development, functional training is used to meet the athletes specific needs based on their sport and position. Lastly, there is a mental component that helps the athlete prepare for the demands that will be placed on them during competition. Ole Miss athletes use a wide variety of training methods, from Olympic-style lifting, to high intensity machine training, to the use of chains, tires and sandbags, all combin-ing together to help each athlete be their best. There are no greater facilities at which to train athletes than the majestic Indoor Practice Facility. When entering the IPF’s 10,000-square-foot weight room, the Ole Miss players are quickly reminded of the championship philosophy that head football strength coach Don Decker and the Rebel staff set forth. The facility, which is entering its eighth year of existence, is enhanced with visual messages and houses state-of-the-art training equipment. Besides the hundreds of weights, the room also contains a variety of Hammer Strength machines, numerous Life Fitness cardiovascular machines and a fully-stocked nutrition center.

With the IPF’s full-sized indoor practice field, the Rebels’ extensive workouts touch on every area of fitness and conditioning and prepare their bodies fully for intense SEC battles.

As a staff we are always trying to improve our program to give our student-ath-letes every opportunity to be successful. In our experience, success comes from discipline, training and ruthlessly high standards, which helps lead an Ole Miss Rebel to victory.

The mission of the University of Mississippi Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is to advance the University's role as a major comprehensive institution of higher learn-ing dedicated to teaching, research, and service. The Department will produce com-petitive and entertaining athletic teams, by recruiting qualified student-athletes, coaches and staff from diverse backgrounds, providing equal opportunities regardless of ethnic-ity or gender. The Department will prepare student-athletes to be productive members of society by assisting in their development of academic, athletic, social, and leadership skills within an environment which fosters integrity, sportsmanship, and emotional, physical, and mental well being.

Operating within the principles of sound fiscal management, the Department will sponsor athletic teams which reflect the interest of the citizens of Mississippi and pro-mote enthusiasm, financial support, cohesiveness, and loyalty within the University community. Demonstrating leadership in all decisions which impact the University, the Southeastern Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletics Association, the Department will conduct itself in an ethical and honest manner.

ATHLETICS SUPPORT


STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC SUPPORT

REBEL READY

NCAA COMPLIANCE

Ole Miss student-athletes not only have the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the nation, they also attend a university that is world-renowned for its academics.

Under Karen Schiferl, the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Academic Support, the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support has made great strides in improving the environment for Ole Miss student-ath-letes. Schiferl is assisted by three assistant directors, four full-time aca-demic counselors, three learning specialists and numerous tutors and academic mentors.

The mission of the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support is to pro-vide quality developmental and need-based programs to help student-ath-letes become independent and self-reliant learners. In an environment that promotes student development, the staff provides support for all student-athletes from the time they arrive on campus through graduation. The staff provides resources, experience and knowledge empowering each student-athlete to reach his/her academic, career and personal potential. The OSAAS staff pursues this mission by promoting academic success with integrity, strict adherence to university, SEC and NCAA rules, and a dedication to excellence. Among all sports, Ole Miss had 135 student-athletes named to the SEC Academic Honor Rolls in 2010-11. With Ole Miss athletics taking its place amongst the best in the nation, the Student-Athlete Academic Support staff hopes that Rebel graduates of today have a great impact in the future of

tomorrow.Last season the Ole Miss rifle team placed five members (Kim Coffey,

Emma Holman, Meredith Holman, Keely Stankey and Colleen Tillson) on the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll, while four (MaryAnn Banks, Melissa Quartarone, Abigail Stanec and Alivia Yeager) were SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll selections. In addition, nine members (Kim Coffey, Rena Goodwin, Emma Holman, Meredith Holman, Melissa Quartarone, Abbey Stanec, Keely Stankey, Colleen Tillson and Alivia Yeager) earned Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association All-Academic Honors.

Rebel Ready - CHAMPS Life Skills is a well-rounded program for student-athletes to develop individual skills necessary to lead successful lives and become leaders for our communities and nation.

The program consists of these five vital compo-nents:

• The Commitment to Academic Excellence is promoted through a full range of services that include orientation, advising, tutoring, academic skills training and the recognition of academic excellence.• The Commitment to Athletic Excellence is developed by the department’s 10 women’s and eight men’s intercollegiate sports teams. The sponsorship is based on equity and compliance to all University, NCAA and Southeastern Conference rules and regulations.

• The Commitment to Career Development is a joint effort of the Ole Miss Athletic Department and Career Center. The goal is to prepare student-athletes for their transition out of sports and into the career development process. Career development components of the program include special workshops and programs for student-athletes and a senior resume brochure.• The Commitment to Personal Development is promoted through life skills and per-sonal development seminars and sponsorship of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.• The Commitment to Service is promoted—in conjunction with the University Counseling Center—through many community service projects throughout the year. The Ole Miss student-athletes are very involved in the community and the community service program continues to grow.

Who Is A Prospect?A prospective student-athlete is defined as an athlete who has begun classes for the ninth grade. However, it is possible for a younger student to be considered a prospect if the institution (or a representative of its athletic interests) provides the student (or family member) benefits not provided to prospects generally.

Who May Contact a Prospect During the Recruiting Process?All in-person, on and off-campus recruiting contacts with a prospect (or family) are limited to autho-rized institutional staff members or full-time enrolled students at the institution. All other persons are prohibited from engaging in any personal, telephone or written contact with the prospect (or family) for encouraging participation in the institution’s athletics programs.

How and When May a Prospect Be Contacted?In all sports, a prospect may not be contacted in-person, off-campus until their senior year in high school. Prospects may not receive correspondence from an institution until their junior year in high school (exception: men’s basketball - June 15 after sophomore year). Questionnaires and camp brochures may be sent prior to the junior year.

When May a Prospect Visit an Institution’s Campus?Prospects may visit an institution’s campus at their own expense (“unofficial visit”) and receive com-plimentary passes to an athletic contest anytime except during “dead periods.” Check with the institu-tion for dates. There is no limit to the number of times a prospect may visit a campus at his/her own

expense. Prospects may receive an expense paid visit (“official visit”) only after they have begun classes for their senior year and have registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center and submitted tran-scripts and test scores to the institution. Prospects are limited to a maximum of five official visits with no more than one per institution.

What is Considered “Being Recruited?”A prospect is considered recruited if a coach, staff member or representative of the institution’s athletic interest (booster) attempts to persuade a prospect (or family member) to enroll at their institution and participate in the athletics program. A student is considered “recruited” if any of the following actions are taken: 1) the institution provides the prospect with an “official visit” (i.e., expenses paid) to its campus; 2) a coach arranges for an in-person, off-campus (home or prospect’s school) encounter with the prospect; 3) receiving more than one telephone call from a coach for recruiting purposes; 4) issuing an NLI or university athletic scholarship.

What Should a Prospect Do During the Recruiting Process?Prospects should register with the NCAA Eligibility Center during their junior year in high school. Contact your high school guidance counselor or call the NCAA Eligibility Center at (877) 262-1492 for more information. The NCAA publishes “The Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete,” which may be downloaded from the NCAA website. If you should have any questions, visit the Compliance web page at www.OleMissSports.com or call the University of Mississippi Athletic Compliance Office at (662) 915-1594.

ATHLETICS SUPPORT


GILLOM SPORTS CENTER AND COMPLEXSince its opening in July 1997, the Gillom Sports Center

has played a major role in the continued rise of Ole Miss women’s athletics at regional and national levels of competi-tion.

The building houses offices and locker rooms for the rifle, soccer, softball and volleyball programs, and contains three indoor tennis courts and a championship volleyball court.

Since 1997, the women’s tennis program has made nine NCAA Tournament appearances, won the SEC Tournament once and claimed the SEC Western Division title twice. The Rebel soccer program has made four NCAA Tournament appearances and won three SEC West crowns. Volleyball has earned a pair of NCAA Tournament ber ths, and rifle finished sixth in the 2006 NCAA Championships.

On April 28, 2000, the complex was dedicated as the Gillom Sports Center in honor of Lady Rebel basketball leg-ends Peggie and Jennifer Gillom. The sisters Gillom are the top two scorers in the history of the program.

The facility, which was built on the University’s intramu-ral fields on Hathorn Road near Highway 6, is a metal structure with a brick front carrying the theme of several other campus edifices.

Other than the locker rooms and offices, the 54,142

square-foot building contains a training room, a laundry room, two visitors’ locker rooms and equipment and team meeting rooms for soccer, softball and volleyball.

Recent upgrades to the soccer team meeting room have added stunning color photo displays, three flat-panel televi-sions and updated video editing equipment.

The volleyball championship court and tennis courts have lower seating areas, and a mezzanine level that runs across the upper portion of the building for a higher per-spective on matches. The volleyball court underwent major

renovations for the 2010 season, arranging the space for an even better fan experience.

The 1,500-seat Ole Miss Soccer Stadium, which opened in 1997 and hosted the 2002 SEC Tournament, is located behind the multi-sport facility.

The recently renovated 1,000-seat softball complex is located across Hathorn Road from the facility. Featured at the complex is a state-of-the-art indoor hitting facility, one of the few such softball-only facilities in the nation. The softball complex hosted the 2011 SEC Softball Tournament.

FEDEX ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER FedEx Corporation announced on April 14, 2005, a $2.5 million gift over five years to the University of Mississippi to create an academic support center for stu-dent-athletes. In May 2007, the vision became reality as the FedEx Student-Athlete Academic Support Center opened its doors to Rebel athletes. The center provides state-of-the-art computer facili-ties and space for study halls and tutoring for men and women student-athletes, as well as additional classrooms for all students. “FedEx has always been a strong supporter of educa-tional initiatives at all levels,” said Mike Glenn, executive vice president of marketing development and corporate com-munications. “This contribution to the University of Mississippi is an extension of our commitment to helping improve the academic resources available to students, and student-athletes in particular.” Glenn said FedEx and Ole Miss are committed to pro-viding a strong academic foundation to enable students to reach their full potential.

The money has been used to renovate a portion of the Starnes Athletic Center—which formerly housed football locker rooms, a weight room and training facilities—next to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on All-American Drive. The 22,500-square-foot building now houses the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Support, including offices, confer-ence rooms, 20 large and small group tutoring rooms, a large study area, a multi-media classroom, computer lab and 150-seat high-tech auditorium. The project was completed in May 2007 with an approximate cost of $5 million. In accepting the FedEx gift, university officials said the new center provides an important link in the university’s goal to compete at the highest level in every aspect of its inter-collegiate programs. “American public universities are the best in the world largely because of the generosity of American corpora-tions,” said then-UM Chancellor Robert Khayat. “FedEx sets the standard for philanthropy by which others are measured. In this case, Ole Miss student-athletes are the primary ben-eficiaries, but all our students will benefit and, as a result,

our entire state benefits.” Athletics Director Pete Boone said the FedEx Academic Support Center plays a valuable role in preparing student-athletes for success after their collegiate playing days are over. “In recruiting, we make a commitment to young men and women and their parents. We promise to provide a posi-tive environment of support to help them achieve their maxi-mum potential in their academic and athletic pursuits,” said Boone. “The FedEx Academic Support Center enables Ole Miss to go beyond that promise. The Center’s front-line technology and classroom environment provide our student-athletes one of the best learning environments in the coun-try.” In addition to its latest gift to the University, FedEx supports several endowed scholarship programs, the Whitten Chair in Law, the Lott Leadership Institute, the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and William Faulkner’s historic home, Rowan Oak.

Regarded as one of the world’s top sporting traditions, tailgating on football Saturdays at Ole Miss is one of those activities that every sports fan should take the opportu-nity to indulge in at some point in their life. Ten acres of lush green grass, watched over by majestic oak trees in the middle of the Ole Miss campus, are transformed from a tranquil picnic spot into tailgating paradise when thousands of football fans crowd into every corner of the land. Weav-ing through the myriad of red and blue tents, one is bound to encounter a few of the most extravagant set-ups in all of tailgating - fine china, chandeliers, big-screen satellite TVs. Of course, many tents are a bit simpler, but the unique atmosphere still encourages sundresses and high heels for the ladies and coats and ties for the men. Food and drink are abundant. “Hotty Toddy” can always be heard chanted among the trees. Champions walk through it. There is no-where else like it. It is ... The Grove.

THE GROVE

Celebrities such as Samuel L. Jackson and Faith Hill regularly visitOxford for charity events and performances.

Artists that have recorded at local Sweet Tea Studios include the Counting Crows, Gavin DeGraw, Ben Folds, the Hives, Jars of Clay and Modest Mouse. Oxford’s Lyric was recently named one of the top 100 music club venues in the world by Pollstar, the leading concert industry trade publication.
