Shot Put Title on First Attempt
Mya Lesnar launched her first attempt at an impressive 19.01 m (62 ft 4½ in), securing the national title while leading from start to finish.
Historic Achievements
- Mya became Colorado State University’s first outdoor national champion in 20 years, since 2005.
- It was her second NCAA title, following her 2024 indoor championship.
- She’s the only athlete this season to reach beyond 19 m, and her seasonal best of 19.60 m rivals Olympic-level performances.
The Lesnar Legacy Continues
Mya is the daughter of Brock Lesnar, a former NCAA wrestling champion, UFC heavyweight champion, and WWE superstar. Her success represents a new chapter in the Lesnar family legacy—one founded on individual merit rather than solely on a famous last name.
Olympic-Level Potential
With her performance and season-best throw of 19.60 meters, Mya is now regarded as a legitimate contender for Team USA in upcoming global competitions, including the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Her technique, power, and consistency already meet or exceed Olympic qualifying standards.
A Symbol of Female Athletic Power
Mya’s victory highlights the strength and visibility of women in field events, which often get overshadowed by sprints or distance races. She’s becoming a role model for young female athletes, especially in strength-based sports.
