Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Mya Lynn Lesnar, daughter of WWE icon Brock, made college sports history 5 Mya won the indoor championship last year 5 She is now a national champion after a sensational shot put performance Since Loree Smith's 2005 victory in an outdoor event, she is the only Rams athlete to achieve so, and joins her former WWE star father in securing a national crown, with Brock, a heavyweight wrestler at Minnesota winning an NCAA title back in 2000. Mya, who had won the indoor championship in 2024, is keen to make her own way despite the talk around her famous dad. Mya's high throw of 62 feet, 4 1/2 inches was part of her incredible effort that helped seal the win. Every participant gets three chances, but Mya got an early edge by making a statement with a throw that exceeded 60 feet. At 61 feet, 10 1/4 inches, Illinois athlete Abria Smith's third throw put her in second place. Nevertheless, Mya easily won with her second-best throw of 61 feet, 11 inches. Her ecstatic father Brock watched from the stands as she would go on to keep the family name in the national rafters. The younger Lesnar earlier won the NCAA indoor shot put title in 2024, making him just the sixth Colorado State athlete to earn outdoor gold. Mya is now the only athlete in program history to win both indoor and outdoor championships. After transferring from Arizona State to CSU, Mya became one of the country's best collegiate throwers under coach Brian Bedard. She came into this week's competition as the top seed in the country after placing sixth at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Last summer, she would go on to win an Olympic bronze with her personal best score of 64 feet, 3 3/4 inches. "Heck yeah it was. It was pretty awesome," Lesnar said to the school's athletics website, on her triumph. "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. [Rams coach Brian] Bedard and I have tons of trust, and that's exactly what we did." As stated, her achievements echoes her famous father. Brocl came back from a losing position in double overtime to win 3-2 in one of the most thrilling tournament finals ever. In addition to starting a career that would include celebrity status in the WWE, UFC, and a brief NFL stint, that victory culminated a 50-2 record at Minnesota. 5 Brock Lesnar has made his name in the wrestling ring 5 Brock Lesnar also fought in UFC from 2008 to 2011 - before returning for one more bout in 2016 His daughter's ascent to NCAA greatness now partially matches his remarkably powerful athletic past.
