Mya Lesnar, the daughter of infamous WWE and UFC legend Brock Lesnar, is now the number one ranked women’s shot putter in the United States.
An athlete with Colorado State in the NCAA, Lesnar won her fourth straight Mountain West shot put title this week, with a throw of 18.61 metres, to claim the ranking.
This likely puts her in the frame to become an Olympian in 2028, should she continue with shot put after she graduates.

Lesnar, who has a striking resemblance to her father, is just 23 and helped Colorado State claim the outdoor conference title.
She attended Arizona State University in her freshman and sophomore years, before transferring to Colorado State, where she would set a new shot put record in 2023 with a throw of 18.50 metres. Her personal best now is 19.60 metres.
For reference, that personal best would have been good enough for bronze at the Paris Olympics.

However, he hasn’t been seen in a WWE ring since January of 2024, after allegations of sexual assault were made against him by a former WWE employee, who also implicated the promotion’s figurehead Vince McMahon.
Mya is one Brock Lesnar’s four children and one of two with his former fiancé Nicole McClain. He would later marry Rena Greek, who was WWE superstar Sable, and had two sons with her.

Mya Lesnar will now turn her attention to June’s NCAA Division One Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
