Mya Reflects on Honoring Her Father’s Athletic Legacy
In an interview following the NCAA Outdoor Championships in June 2025, Mya spoke about following in the footsteps of her father, Brock Lesnar, who was a gold medal-winning heavyweight wrestler for the Minnesota Golden Gophers in 2000. Mya shared her gratitude for the support system that has helped her grow, notably her coach Brian Bedard and her teammates. She said,
“I don’t think it’s set in yet, but I am very, very happy with the progress that I’ve made at CSU. Honestly I would not be where I am without Brian Bedard. Obviously family and teammates but 100% this goes to my coach and a lot of ups and downs that we’ve had together and worked through together. We have the best relationship and I honestly owe him.”
Mya matched her father’s prestigious achievement by winning gold in the women’s shot put at the 2024 NCAA Indoor Championships. She then capped her collegiate career by securing another gold medal in the same event at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
