Mya Lesnar headlines Colorado State group at NCAA regionals

The pursuit for a spot in the track and field NCAA Championships is here.

Fifteen Colorado State track and field athletes will compete May 28-31 at the NCAA West Regional meet, with places in the national meet on the line.

There are 48 competitors in each individual event, and the top 12 placers advance to the outdoor NCAA Championships. The 2025 NCAA Championships are June 11-14 in Eugene, Oregon.

CSU’s Mya Lesnar headlines the group as she enters regionals ranked No. 1 in the nation in shot put. The Rams have several hopefuls to qualify for the championship meet, though.
