Randall Cunningham will forever be known as one of the most athletic quarterbacks in NFL history, but he may not be the most athletic person in his family.

Cunningham's daughter, Vashti Cunningham, won gold Sunday at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in high jump at the young age of 18.

Randall, a self-taught high jumper in high school who now coaches his daughter, was in the stands as she cleared the bar set at six feet, five inches.

Vashti announced she will now be turning professional and will not compete at the NCAA level, according to Pro Football Talk. She will compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team later this summer, but not before graduating high school in June.
