EUGENE, Ore. -- As the bar inched skyward in the womens high jump final Sunday at the U.S. Olympic trials, all eyes were glued to Vashti Cunningham, the 18-year-old prodigy, 6-foot-1 physical marvel and daughter of NFL great Randall Cunningham.Then, Chaunte Lowe, the 32-year-old veteran of three Olympics and 5-foot-9 mother of three children, proved that she retains a firm grip on the No. 1 spot.After winning first place Sunday with a jump of 6 feet, 7 inches, the best mark in the world this year, Lowe described herself as an old-timer whos not ready to be counted out.You saw that today, said Lowe, the American record-holder. Im not ready to give up yet.Cunningham, riding a wave of attention since winning the world indoor championships earlier this year, took second with a jump of 6-5?.Lowe had a tough 2015. She moved her training home base from Atlanta to Florida to obtain special care for her 5-year-old daughter, who had shown signs of autism or Aspergers syndrome. Lowe failed to clear any height at the world championships at Beijing -- I put my children first, she explained -- and Cunningham began her precocious rise.It hurt a little bit to feel forgotten so quickly, Lowe said. I didnt like that when I would read articles, instead of talking about how great [Cunningham] is, I felt like it was a bashing of me a lot of times. At the beginning of the year that hurt, for nobody to really know and understand why I no-heighted last year, why I had a hard time.Cunninghams routine looked effortless in the early rounds, drawing oohs from the crowd at Hayward Field, as she smoothly launched her slender frame over the bar with inches to spare. Her first trouble came at 6-4?, where she missed twice before clearing on her do-or-die third attempt. She cleared 6-5? on her first try, then missed badly three times at 6-6? to end her competition.Cunningham, whose mother, Felicity, was a professional ballerina, said she wants to win every competition. This [loss] was something that hit me on the head thats going to make me work harder for the Olympics, so that I can go in there and give everything I have and hopefully be content at the end with first, she said.Lowe flung herself over each height, then performed elaborate bows and curtsies to the crowd with a huge smile on her face. After clearing 6-7 on her second try, she elected to shut it down and focus on her real objective.Im not celebrating yet. This wasnt my goal, Lowe said, setting her sights on Rio. My goal is on that podium.Lowe had high praise for Cunningham, comparing her potential to that of a young Usain Bolt.Shes a great girl, Lowe said, and shes definitely the future of high jumping in America.Just dont relegate Lowe to the past.

Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. As far as one-club men go, there arent many as rusted-on as Richmond great Matthew Richardson.But the Tigers legend has revealed he entertained a mid-career switch to fierce AFL rivals Carlton.Speaking on Melbourne radio station 3AW, the 13-time Richmond leading goalkicker said he arrived at a crossroads in his career after the 2003 season.Both player and club were in a rut, leading Richardson to consider the unthinkable.There was one point in my career where I thought maybe I needed a change ... I think the club was probably toying with the idea as well, he said.I had two pretty average years in 2002 and 2003.At that point in time I actually spoke to Peter Schwab at the time when he was at Hawthorn.I went around to Denis Pagans house in Moonee Ponds and had a cup of tea with Denis and his wife made us some scones.At the Carlton coachs residence, the three-time All Australian got a glimpse of Pagans plans for the full-forward.He did pull out a whiteboard and it had all thhe magnets on it, all the Carlton names, he said.dddddddddddd.Every single magnet was pushed up outside the 50. And there was one name inside the 50. It was Richardson.He looked at me. And he looked at the magnet. And then he goes, were going to give you some space, son.Ultimately, the Richmond and Tasmanian team of the century member made a decision to stay.I went to see him because of the interest he showed and the respect I had for him as a coach, he said.I was out of contract at the end of the season (but) it never really went anywhere.My heart was at Richmond.Richardson would go on for another six seasons at Punt Road, including his storied 2008 campaign playing as a wingman where he finished two votes short of a Brownlow Medal.He would finish his career with 800 goals, remaining the MCGs greatest goalkicker with 464 majors at the ground.
