Mya Lesnar proved she's Brock Lesnar's kid with a second NCAA title
Before going on to UFC and WWE gold, Brock Lesnar was a one-time NCAA Division I champion. Now daughter Mya has him beat. Brock Lesnar's combat sports career began as a decorated college wrestler. He won a National Junior College championship at 275 pounds while at Bismarck State College. From there, he transferred up to the University of Minnesota, capturing the Division I heavyweight title in 2000 after a runner-up performance (to future New England Patriots guard Stephen Neal) in 1999. Advertisement Mya Lesnar didn't follow in her father's footsteps despite a burgeoning women's wrestling scene at the college level. Instead, she used her family's farmhand strength to carve a championship path in track and field -- specifically, the shot put. After beginning her college career at Arizona State, she transferred to Colorado State in 2022. That move helped unlock her potential. She won a national indoor championship earlier this year, then doubled up in the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships Thursday. Lesnar's first throw was enough to carry her past a loaded field and to the top of the podium in Eugene, Oregon. Impressively, that 19.01 meter toss wasn't close to her personal best. She threw 19.60 meters at the last home dual meet of her college career -- a mark that would have won bronze at the 2024 Summer Olympics. While Lesnar ends her college career as a champion, it's clear she has the ability to compete at the highest level of the sport. Whether she chooses to stick with throwing or make dabbling in multiple sports a family tradition is yet to be seen.
