Vashti Cunningham Highlights Olympic Development High Jump Fields At Penn

Vashti Cunningham is only 26, and yet she already owns 14 U.S. championships across the outdoor and indoor seasons. 

The Las Vegas resident and former indoor World Champion highlights strong men's and women's high jump fields headed for the Penn Relays presented by Toyota next week at Franklin Field. 

Cunningham will return to Franklin Field for the first time since 2017 when she earned a win in event with a mark of 1.93 meters. That mark was just a hundredth off the meet record of 1.94m, which was a standard that was set in 1996.

Cunningham owns a career-best mark of 2.02m from 2021 and recently surpassed 2.00m in 2023 and opened up her year at the Millrose Games in February with a mark of 1.97m. 

Cunningham will be joined by fellow Americans Jelena Rowe, Zarriea Willis, Mercedeez Francis and Sanaa. Barnes, along with Jamaican Kimberly Williamson and Abigail Kwarteng, who hails from Ghana.

The men's field will include Americans Darius Carbin, Earnest Sears, Ethan Harris, Kyle Rollins and Tony Jones, along with internationals Tejaswin Shankar, Jonas Wagner, Roberto Vilches and Lushane Wilson.
