Like Father, Like Daughter! Mya Lesnar, WWE Superstar's Child, Writes NCAA Shotput History!

Last Updated: Lesnar's record-setting shot at the 2025 Mountain West Outdoors bumped her to the No.1 ranking as she heads into the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor. I guess it's true what they say: the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Colorado State University's Mya Lesnar, the daughter of WWE superstar and former UFC fighter Brock Lesnar, continues to carve her own path ferociously, winning her 4th straight shot put title. Her latest gold medal came at the Mountain West Outdoor Track & Field Championships, where, on her final toss, Mya Lesnar broke multiple NCAA records. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Colorado State Track Field XC (@csutrackfieldxc) With just one last shot in the 2025 Mountain West Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Mya Lesnar launched it 18.08 meters/59-feet-4.0 meters with 19.60/64-3.5: a throw that catapulted her as one of the top 3 women's shot put competitors in NCAA history. Lesnar's record-setting shot at the 2025 Mountain West Outdoors bumped her to the No.1 ranking as she heads into the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor, essentially meaning she is the best in the NCAA circuit amongst women. After winning the event, the 23-year-old told the college website: 'I got very emotional. 'Not because of my mark, but because all my family got to be here, even my dog. 'I have a couple more months to focus on track, and I've sacrificed a lot to do this. The support from my teammates and boyfriend it's been great. 'I have to be confident at this age and this level. It's senior day, and I only have two more months of my college career. The Colorado State star's dad, Brock Lesnar, is known for being a WWE icon. Just like her dad, who was fondly known as 'The Beast' in WWE, Mya herself has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the shot put arena, having previously won the 2025 Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships, the 2024 Mountain West Outdoor T&F Championship, and the 2024 Indoors. Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar has not appeared for WWE since he fought Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in 2023. He has also kept a low profile after being named in the lawsuit against Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis last year. First Published: May 20, 2025, 19:42 IST
