PORTLAND, Ore. — Teenager Vashti Cunningham’s upcoming to-do list includes prom, a trip to Disneyland and graduation.
Turning pro and making the American team in the high jump for the Rio Olympics rank pretty high up there, too.
The daughter of longtime NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham may even be one of the favorites this summer, especially after winning gold at the world indoor track and field championships on Sunday.
“I’m excited on the inside and keeping it calm on the outside,” said Cunningham, who cleared 6 feet, 5 inches to become the youngest female ever to capture a title at world indoors.
