Randall Cunningham's Daughter, Vashti, Wins World Indoor High Jump Championship

Former NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham isn't the only athlete in his family. On Sunday, Cunningham's 18-year-old daughter, Vashti, won the world indoor high-jump championship in Portland, Oregon.

In a field of 12 jumpers, Cunningham leaped six feet, five inches for the world title. According to Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith, Cunningham is the youngest woman to win an event at the world championships this century.

She wasn't done making news after her victory either. Speaking with NBC Sports (via Nick Zaccardi of NBCSports.com), Cunningham announced she believes that she is going to go pro instead of going to college.
