WWE & UFC Legend Brock Lesnar became the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Champion in 2000. Now, 25 years later, his daughter, Mya Lesnar, has become the NCAA Champion in Shot Put! Mya secured the win in women’s shot put on her first attempt with a throw of 19.01m! She was the only woman over 19m all season and the only one over 19m last night.

This is Colorado State University’s first outdoor national title winner in 20 years.
Colorado State University continues to prove that success in athletics doesn’t require a massive budget. Over the past three seasons, CSU has sent more women’s throwers—11 in total—to the NCAA nationals than any other school in the country.
Speaking to reporters before the national meet, Lesnar acknowledged the resource gap between CSU and bigger schools.
“We don’t have a ton of money, like an SEC school, a Big Ten school,” she said. “I’m going into this thing ranked No. 1 and we don’t have all the resources.”
But she made it clear that high-end gear isn’t the key to success in throwing events. “You don’t need fancy things to throw. You need one old shot put and a great coach. None of us need fancy equipment to throw far. We just have a coach that’s all-in, that trusts us and teammates that trust us and we like to have fun and push each other.”
Lesnar’s performance at nationals confirmed her place among the sport’s elite. Her winning throw would have placed 6th at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Earlier in the 2025 season, she recorded a career-best mark of 64 feet, 3 ¾ inches—a distance that would have earned a bronze medal at the previous Olympics.
