COLLEGE STATION, Texas  – Colorado State track and field saw two athletes qualify for the NCAA Championships on Thursday as Mya Lesnar dominated the shot put field while Kajsa Borrman activated her clutch gene to advance in the hammer throw at the West Regional in College Station.
 
Lesnar entered Thursday’s shot put competition as the national leader in the event by a solid margin, and she proved to be the best competitor out of the West Region with her results. Entering in the fourth flight, Lesnar wasted no time vaulting herself to the top of the standings as logged 18.50 meters/60-feet-8.5 on her first attempt. Her throw stood the test as the Ram finished atop the field with nearly two feet of cushion.
 
The former indoor national champion will be making her third-straight trip to outdoor nationals and seeks to build upon a fifth-place finish at last year’s installment.
 
Borrman wrote a slightly different story as her first-career trip to nationals hung in the balance up until her final throw. Sitting outside of the top-12 qualifying spots entering her third attempt, Borrman unleashed a clutch 62.93/206-5 throw that moved her into 12th place; safe but not certain as other competitors had yet to finish. As the final three throws came through, the Loveland native held onto her place among the qualifiers and will join Lesnar on the trip to Eugene, Ore.
 
Also competing in the shot put field was CSU’s Makayla Long, who logged a 15.55m/51-1.25 throw to finish in 26th. Away from the throwing pit, Maria Kimpson cleared a height of 4.02m/13-2.25 to finish 33rd in the pole vault, while Neya Jamison ran a time of 1:00.05 to finish 38th in the 400 hurdles.
 
Day Three of the NCAA West Regionals picks up tomorrow morning as the CSU men’s team returns to action. The Flight Crew will take on the triple jump (1:30 p.m.) and the high jump (2:30 p.m.), while Michael Mooney will compete in the 5k at 7:10 p.m.
