The Colorado State University athlete took gold at the Mountain West Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
And she did so after breaking a huge record.
With her final throw, Lesnar threw her shot 18.08-meters/59-feet-4.0 meters with 19.60/64-3.5 – a record distance for the facility.
It also made her one of the top three women’s shot put competitors in the NCAA.
After winning the event, the 23-year-old told the college website: “I got very emotional.
“Not because of my mark, but because all my family got to be here, even my dog.
“I have a couple more months to focus on track and I’ve sacrificed a lot to do this. The support from my teammates and boyfriend, it’s been great.
“I have to be confident at this age and this level. It’s senior day and I only have two more months of my college career.
“At this point, I have nothing to lose. I’m super proud to be a Ram and excited to do it at our home track.”
Meanwhile, her coach, Brian Bedard, said: “We wanted to set it up to be a special day.
“I needed to look for something to motivate her, which was the facility record. I wanted to bring in some bleachers have someone run the event, a good official.
“We wanted to see her go out at a home meet and have a lot of people be able to see her compete and see how special she is.”
The Colorado State star’s dad, Brock Lesnar, is known for being a WWE icon.
However, the 47-year-old has been away from the promotion for the last two years.
