Randall Cunningham’s daughter Vashti Cunningham is 18 years old and already the 10th best high-jumper in US history. I’m quoting Sports Illustrated based on a jump where she cleared 6’6 & 1/4″ and set a new junior world record. That’s a big deal, guys. Only 10 Americans have ever jumped higher than that. She won the World Indoor Championship that was held in Portland in March. She also turned pro and signed a contract with Nike in March. This chick is the real mccoy. Let’s talk about her lifestyle…
On Father’s Day she wished the man himself, former Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham, a lovely day. Vashti’s mother was one good looking lady as well. As you might have expected, she sent her a nice social media message on Mother’s Day. She covers all the days! Randall Cunningham’s daughter Vashti is dating a kid named Bennet Higgins. Vashti Cunningham’s boyfriend lives in Las Vegas and looks like he’s 12 years old even though he’s very tall. He said he thanks God every day for “putting this girl in my life.” They’re apparently pretty serious. Although as of posting a week before Rio, Bennet Higgins appears to have been removed from Vashti’s social media. Their status is iffy at best.
Randall Cunningham’s daughter Vashti is not the only extremely athletic child of his. Vashti’s brother, Randall Cunningham Jr. is 6’6″, 185 pounds and runs a blistering 4.60 50 meter. So yeah, he’s good at sports. There was talk of young Randy competing at high jump at the Olympics but that doesn’t look like it’s happening. Vashti is basically our best hope at women’s high jump glory. When she’s not training, she hangs out with her friends and family and does typical 18 year-old stuff. I don’t think she’s lost an event in the last two years. She loves being on the track, and you can tell. Both her and her brother live in Las Vegas. I guess that means there’s no long-distance relationship happening with young Bennett. It’s close-distance.
