Mya Lesnar is a national champion — again.
And this time, the CSU senior did it at Hayward Field to become the Rams’ first outdoor national champ in 20 years.
Lesnar, the NCAA indoor shot put national champion in 2024, won the same event at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships on Thursday in Eugene, Ore., with a throw of 19.01 meters.
She came into this week’s meet as the top seed in the shot put and didn’t disappoint.
The daughter of WWE star Brock Lesnar hit the winning mark on her very first throw and was the only competitor to top 19 meters in the event. The victory came a year after she placed fifth in the event at the outdoor meet and continued the Rams’ tradition of strong throwers.
The last Rams outdoor national champion, Loree Smith, won the hammer throw in 2005. And Lesnar was joined by two other throwers at this week’s meet: Kajsa Borrman was 21st in the hammer earlier Thursday and Klaire Kovatch will throw in the discus on Saturday.
