Mya Lesnar won the NCAA championship in women's shot put after the Colorado State star outdistanced the field at Hayward Field in Oregon.

The last Rams outdoor national champion, Loree Smith, won the hammer throw in 2005. And Lesnar was joined by two other throwers at this week’s meet: Kajsa Borrman was 21st in the hammer earlier Thursday and Klaire Kovatch will throw in the discus on Saturday.

Mya Lesnar won the NCAA shot put title, becoming Colorado State University's first outdoor national champion in 20 years, with a 62 feet, 4 ½ inch throw.
