Mya Lesnar, the daughter of WWE legend Brock Lesnar, is off to a strong start in her junior season on the track and field team at Colorado State.
Mya broke the school record in indoor shot put while competing at the Mines Alumni Classic, where she finished first in weight throw with a mark of 21.11m last weekend.
She broke the previous record of 17.55m with a mark of 18.50m, moving her to the No. 1 position in Colorado State’s top 20, according to the Rams’ website, which said she currently leads the nation in women’s indoor shot put.
Mya was named the Women’s Field Athlete of the Week following her first-place finish.
“A new PR and a new school record!!” she wrote in a post on Instagram, which featured a video of her record-breaking performance.
“Happy with a strong start to my season.”
The Rams are scheduled to compete in two different meets in Colorado Springs this weekend — the Air Force Holiday Open on Dec. 8, followed by the UCCS Pre-Holiday Invite and Multi from Dec. 8-9.
Mya transferred to Colorado State after spending her freshman and sophomore year at Arizona State University, where she competed in shot put as a member of Sun Devils’ track and field team.
Mya was 17th in the country in shot put at the end of last season.
“This is only the tip of the iceberg,” she said at the time.
Mya, who was a criminal justice major at ASU, previously said her dad has been the biggest influence on her career.
She also expressed her desire to join the military, calling it her “dream job.”
Mya, a native of Alexandria, Minn., was the Minnesota Shot Put Champion in 2019.
