Rachel Martin proved to be one of the top shooters in the history of the Nebraska rifle program. A seven-time All-American, Martin is tied for second in NU rifle history for most All-America awards, joining Amanda Trujillo. Only 2006 Air Rifle National Champion and eight-time All-American Kristina Fehlings has more. Additionally, Martin is the only three-time CRCA All-American in school history.

The 2015 Smallbore National Champion led the Huskers to the NCAA Championships in each of her four seasons, including top five finishes in 2014 (fifth) and 2015 (fourth). Martin etched her way into the record books, breaking the school record for highest air rifle score by a sophomore (597), highest air rifle score by a junior (596), highest air rifle score by a senior (595) and highest overall air rifle score (597).

Off the range, the Peralta, New Mexico, native was an eight-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll and a four-time member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team. She earned her bachelor's degree from Nebraska in May of 2017.

Senior (2016-17)
A returning All-American, Rachel Martin helped lead the Huskers both on and off the range, as one of only three upperclassmen on a young Husker squad. She competed in every match for the Huskers in both smallbore and air rifle. She helped carry the team into the postseason, including a sixth-place NCAA finish and a second-place GARC finish. She also claimed the bronze medal in air rilfe at the 2017 GARC Championships. Her season-best air rifle score of 595 broke the school record for highest air rifle score ever produced by a senior. Martin helped the team notch the four-highest air rifle scores in school history in her final season with the Huskers. Martin also paved the way in the classroom, earning a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in fall 2016.

Junior (2015-16)   
The 2015 NCAA smallbore champion, Martin returned as a leader for Nebraska as a junior in 2015-16. The All-American from Peralta, N.M., competed in every meet for the Huskers, including the postseason, where the team qualified for its fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships, finishing eighth. Martin added her sixth and seventh All-America honors as a junior, one from the NRA and one from the CRCA.

The seven-time All-American added Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2015, and earned a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters.

Sophomore (2014-15)
Martin emerged as one of the nation's top shooters in her second season at Nebraska. The sophomore captured the NCAA smallbore title while earning All-America honors from both the NRA and CRCA. Martin's performances helped the Huskers to a fourth-place team finish at the 2015 NCAA Championships.

The third Husker to ever win an NCAA championship, Martin tied her career-best smallbore score of 585 twice and shattered her previous career-best air rifle score by four points. Her personal-best air rifle score of 597 also set the record for the best individual air rifle score at Nebraska. She was an NRA and CRCA All-American for the second consecutive year, and was also a second-team All-GARC selection in smallbore, air rifle and combined.

Off the range, Martin earned academic All-Big Ten honors in 2015, and was named to the Nebraska-Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll both the fall and spring semesters. She claimed a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for her efforts in the community.

Freshman (2013-14)

She fired a then-career-high score of 593 in air rifle two times, once against NC State and again at the NCAA Qualifiers. In smallbore, Martin fired a 585 against NC State, beating her previous high smallbore score. In the postseason, Martin finished second in smallbore at the GARC Championships. She qualified for the 2014 NCAA Championships and helped the Huskers to a fifth-place team finish.

Martin was recognized for her success on the range when she was named an All-American by both the NRA and the CRCA.
