Randall Cunningham's Daughter Is a World Class High Jumper
Randall Cunningham's Daughter Is a World Class High Jumper
Randall Cunningham coaches his daughter, Vashti, to high jump success.
If you had to guess which former NFL quarterback would produce offspring who would be among the best leapers in the world, you might hazard a guess on Randall Cunningham. And you'd be right.
The electric talent for the Eagles and Vikings (among others) nearly reinvented the position, ending his career as the league's all-time leader in carries and yards for a quarterback. And while most people knew that upon retiring, Randall became an ordained minister, what they might not be aware of is that his daughter is now one of the best high jumpers in the world, and he's her coach.
Twenty-year-old Vashti Cunningham, all 6-foot-1' of her, recently won USA Nationals for the second straight year, putting her on the world team. In 2016, she won a world indoor title and placed 13th at the Rio Olympics.
Our sister site, FloTrack, produced this two-part series on Vashti with a good dose of coaching from good ol' dad.
