Brock Lesnar’s daughter Mya one-ups famous father with latest incredible feat

Mya Lesnar, the daughter of UFC and WWE star Brock Lesnar, has bettered her famous father, showing she is a generational athlete in her own right.

Mya Lesnar, the daughter of UFC and WWE star Brock Lesnar, is a national champion.

A senior at Colorado State, Mya captured the NCAA shot put championship on her first throw, which travelled 19.01 meters at the NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, on Thursday, the New York Post reports.

It was a fitting end to a dominant collegiate career in which Mya also won the 2024 indoor shot put national championship and was named 2024 Mountain West Female Athlete of the Year, among several other accolades.

She entered the national championships ranked as the top outdoor shot put thrower in the nation and bested Illinois’ Abria Smith, whose best throw landed at 18.85 metres.

Mya’s title also marked Colorado State’s first outdoor national championship since 2005, when Loree Smith won the hammer throw.

Mya was the only woman to hit the 19-meter mark all season, and her title-winning throw on Thursday was far from her personal best.

She hit the 19.60-metre mark at the final dual meet of her collegiate career, which would have secured a bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

And it turns out she may have gotten some pre-competition inspiration from “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet, who said he “coached her up a little over FaceTime in prep for the big day” in a congratulatory post on Instagram.

By capturing her second national title, Mya has now officially outdone the NCAA career of her dad, who won the NCAA heavyweight wrestling title with Minnesota in 2000 before going on to UFC and WWE glory.

Brock was in attendance as Mya earned the title, proudly taking in the moment from the stands.

What’s next for Mya’s career remains to be seen, although she certainly seems to have the requisite talent to compete for the U.S. at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles if she desires.
