Vashti Cunningham qualifies for Rio Olympics, becomes youngest athlete to make US Track and Field team in 36 years - SB Nation
Vashti Cunningham punched her ticket to the 2016 Rio Olympics in the high jump and in doing so became the youngest United States Olympian in the sport since 1980. Cunningham, 18, is the daughter of retired Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham. There's a lot of hype behind her and her potential to earn a medal in the event. Poland's Kamila Licwinko has the best non-American jump in the world in 2016 at 1.99 meters, a mark that Cunningham cleared at the US indoor championships in March.
