Athletics-WWE wrestler Lesnar's daughter Mya wins NCAA shot put title
June 14 - Mya Lesnar, the daughter of World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler and ex-mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar, smacked down her opponents with a massive opening effort to win the women's shot put at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships. The 23-year-old Colorado State athlete won with her first throw of 19.01 metres, with her father Brock in attendance at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon on Friday. "It was pretty awesome. Obviously throws like that don't happen often, and to do it on my first one was pretty cool. I just went calm, hit my cues," Lesnar told reporters. " Brian Bedard and I have tons of trust, and that's exactly what we did. I think it had more of an effect for me. "It meant more for me to do it on the first one, to start off the competition strong. A lot of the other ladies responded. It was awesome." Lesnar, who won the women's shot put title at the NCAA Division I indoor track and field championships last year, also recorded the second-best throw of the event with an 18.87 metres effort. Only Illinois' Abria Smith provided any challenge to Lesnar's supremacy, coming close with a throw of 18.85 metres on her third attempt. Lesnar's father Brock is among wrestling's most celebrated stars and was an Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion for nearly two years between November 2008 and October 2010. He won the NCAA Division I heavyweight wrestling championship in 2000 and also pursued a career in the National Football League, playing a few pre-season games for the Minnesota Vikings in 2004.

Mya Lesnar, daughter of UFC and WWE champion, wins NCAA shot put title

Photograph: Isaac Wasserman/Colorado State's Mya Lesnar won the women's shot put title at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships on Thursday, sealing the national crown with her very first attempt. Lesnar's opening throw of 62ft 4½in (19.01m) at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, stood as the top mark throughout the competition. The only other competitor to come close was Illinois' Abria Smith, whose best effort measured 61ft 10¼in. Lesnar also registered the second-best throw of the day (61ft 11in), capping a commanding performance. Advertisement It marked the second NCAA title for Lesnar, who also won the indoor championship in 2024. The 24-year-old senior is the first Colorado State athlete in 20 years to win an outdoor national title, joining Loree Smith (2005 hammer throw) in school history. She is now a four-time first-team All-American. Lesnar, daughter of former UFC and WWE champion Brock Lesnar, transferred to CSU from Arizona State and has since developed into one of the nation's top collegiate throwers under coach Brian Bedard. In 2024, she finished sixth at the Paris Olympics and entered this week's meet as the No 1 seed in the nation. Her personal best of 64-3¾ would have earned an Olympic bronze last summer. 'This one means a lot,' Lesnar said. 'It's taken a lot of work to get back to No 1.' Her national title echoes the collegiate success of her father, who won the 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling championship while competing for the University of Minnesota. In one of the most dramatic finals in tournament history, Brock Lesnar escaped from the down position in double overtime to secure a 3-2 victory. That win capped a 50-2 record at Minnesota and launched a career that would span the WWE, UFC and a brief NFL stint: a uniquely dominant athletic legacy now matched in part by his daughter's own rise to NCAA stardom. Elsewhere on the first day of women's finals, Georgia's Stephanie Ratcliffe defended her NCAA hammer throw crown with a toss of 234ft 2in. Washington's Hana Moll broke the collegiate pole vault record with a clearance of 15-8½, surpassing the previous mark held by her twin sister Amanda. And New Mexico freshman Pamela Kosgei shattered the meet record in the 10,000 meters, finishing in 31:17.02.

Mya Lesnar, daughter of Brock Lesnar, wins NCAA shot put national title
Mya Lesnar has cemented her place in Colorado State University (CSU) history, winning the Division I shot put national title at the 2025 NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The victory marked CSU's first outdoor national title in 20 years, since Loree Smith's hammer throw win in 2005. Mya, who's the daughter of WWE legend Brock Lesnar, delivered a standout performance with her top mark of 62 feet, 4 ½ inches, securing the title with precision. Each participant was given three attempts, and Lesnar made her intentions clear from the start, launching her first throw well beyond 60 feet to take the early lead. Illinois' Abria Smith finished second, with her third throw of the first round landing at 61 feet, 10 ¼ inches. However, Lesnar's second-best throw (61 feet, 11 inches) was enough to ensure the victory. The 23-year-old, who transferred from Arizona State to CSU, has steadily developed into one of the best shot putters in collegiate athletics. She credited her coach, Brian Bedard, for his guidance and the competitive spirit fostered within the team. Despite operating with fewer resources than major programs, such as those in the SEC or Big Ten, CSU has produced the most women's throwers (11) to compete at nationals over the last three years. Lesnar, who entered the competition ranked No. 1, praised her team's ability to perform without relying on lavish facilities. 'We don't have fancy things, but we have a coach that's all-in and teammates that trust us. That's all we need,' she remarked. 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐏 🏆 Mya Lesnar is the @NCAATrackField Shot Put NATIONAL CHAMPION!!!!#Relentless x #CSURams — Colorado State T&F/XC (@CSUTrackFieldXC) June 13, 2025 This national title adds to Lesnar's already impressive list of achievements. In 2024, she claimed the shot put national title in indoor track and field, and her performance in the outdoor competition further solidified her status as one of the sport's rising stars. Her mark of 62 feet, 4 ½ inches would have placed sixth at the 2024 Paris Olympics, while her personal best of 64 feet, 3 ¾ inches set earlier in 2025 would have earned her a bronze medal at the same event. In other CSU news, Kajsa Borrman, a redshirt sophomore from Loveland High School, competed in the hammer throw at the NCAA Championships. Borrman finished 21st out of 24 competitors, recording a mark of 207 feet, 3 inches. Her performance earned her honorable mention All-American status in what was her first appearance at the national meet. Lesnar's victory has put CSU's track and field program back in the spotlight, with the university now celebrating its latest national champion and the promise of more to come.

Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2025, current job, life after wrestling and more
Image via WWE Brock Lesnar, one of the most dominant forces in WWE and UFC history, continues to command attention even in his absence from the wrestling world. Known for his explosive performances and rare public appearances, Lesnar's presence still looms large, both in the ring and on the financial charts. As of 2025, Lesnar's wealth and lifestyle reflect the success of a career few can rival. Net worth in 2025: How rich is Brock Lesnar today? Despite not having stepped into the WWE ring since his 2023 SummerSlam loss to Cody Rhodes, Lesnar's net worth in 2025 stands strong at $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This figure remains steady from 2024, despite his ongoing association with the highly publicized Janel Grant lawsuit. Lesnar's earnings come from multiple streams. His massive pay-per-view bouts in both WWE and UFC, long-term sponsorships, merchandise royalties, and bonus clauses have collectively built a financial empire. His endorsement deals with brands like Dymatize Nutrition, Jimmy John's, and his personal fitness label DeathClutch continue to supplement his income even during his hiatus. What is Brock Lesnar doing now? While Lesnar has not been seen in WWE programming for almost two years, he remains under contract with the company. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer recently responded to fan speculation on social media, stating, 'I believe so,' when asked if Lesnar was still signed to WWE. His name had been floated for a return during the build-up to Royal Rumble 2024, but that comeback was reportedly scrapped due to his alleged involvement in the ongoing legal case surrounding former WWE chairman Vince McMahon. Though Lesnar hasn't been charged, the association has affected his public image and delayed his return. For now, Lesnar appears to be embracing a quieter chapter. Based on recent viral images, he's sporting a completely new look - long hair, and spending time on his farm in Canada alongside his wife, former WWE star Sable. Their daughter, Mya Lesnar, is also making waves as a top college athlete, having recently secured her fourth consecutive shot put title at the Mountain West Championships. Goldberg, another wrestling legend, recently revealed that despite Lesnar's intimidating persona, he is a private and reclusive individual who values peace and privacy over fame. The two remain cordial, though they rarely stay in touch. While questions remain over a possible WWE return, Brock Lesnar seems content living life on his own terms. Whether or not he steps back into the ring, his legacy - and his wealth, look firmly secured.
