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.

ROME -- A defensive blunder helped decide a heated Rome derby but many fans werent there to see it due to a protest.Lazios Brazilian defender Wallace gifted the ball to Kevin Strootman, who scored Romas opener midway through the second half and Radja Nainggolan then doubled the lead for a 2-0 win Sunday.Romas celebrations were not as loud as usual because the clubs most ardent supporters stayed away from the match in protest at plexiglass security barriers introduced at the start of last season in their area.Normally filled with supporters waving huge banners, lighting flares and singing, half of the curva sud -- southern end -- of the Stadio Olimpico was left empty.Its ugly to see, said Strootman, who scored with a delicate chip shot over Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti. The fans who did come were very helpful to us and these were three very important points. Hopefully the others will come to the next matches because we need our fans.The victory moved Roma back into second place, four points behind Juventus, which beat Atalanta 3-1 on Saturday.AC Milan is level on points with Roma in third after coming from a goal down to beat visiting Crotone 2-1.In the next round, Roma hosts Milan.After Strootmans goal and an extended celebration, words appeared to be exchanged as Romas players walked back onto the pitch alongside Lazios bench.Strootman appeared to toss water from a bottle at Lazios Danilo Cataldi, who reacted by tugging the neck of Strootmans shirt as the Netherlands midfielder walked away.That prompted both benches to get involved, leading to a general melee.Cataldi, who had been on the bench, was red carded, while Strootman was shown a yellow.Ten minutes later, Nainggolan scored with a long, bouncing shot inside the near post that appeared to surprise Marchetti.Roma has now won four straight in the Derby della Capitale series, outscoring Lazio 10-2. Lazios last derby win came in the 2013 Italian Cup final, while its last derby victory in Serie A came more than four years ago.Neither side produced a clear chance in the first half of a match that was not pretty to watch.Since Ive come to Roma Ive never played in a beautiful derby, Strootman said. Neither squad wants to make a mistake.We didnt have many chances but we won and got some important points, Strootman added.Lazio is fifth, four points behind Roma.Francesco Totti, Romas 40-year-old captain, stayed on the bench.---AAC MILAN 2, CROTONE 1Gianluca Lapadula is getting quite comfortable in his new role as AC Milans center forward.ddddddddddddFilling in for the injured Carlos Bacca, Lapadula earned a penalty and scored a late winner in a 2-1 win over visiting Crotone.It was Lapadulas fourth goal in four matches -- the first four of the Serie A career of a 26-year-old considered a late bloomer.Lapadula always plays with a lot of passion and thats his strength, Milan coach Vincenzo Montella said. That was the type of goal that he scores. Hes a real striker, the type that I like who can provide guarantees over the course of a season.Diego Falcinelli had put Crotone ahead midway through the first half and Mario Pasalic equalized for Milan before the break.With the score 1-1, MBaye Niang had a penalty blocked by Crotone goalkeeper Alex Cordaz.It was a complicated match. Compliments to Crotone, Montella said. It was a struggle to win but we really wanted it.Milan has lost just one of its last 12 matchesCrotone is last with just six points from 15 matches.Falcinellis goal, his fifth of the season, was facilitated by poor defense from Milan that allowed him to score from the center of the area uncontested.Pasalic, who is on loan from Chelsea, scored his first goal in Serie A with a header following a corner.Early in the second half, Lapadula was fouled inside the area to set up Niangs penalty but Cordaz dived in the right direction to make the save.In the 86th, Lapadula took advantage of a rebound following a free kick to win it.Lapadula, who scored 27 goals in 40 Serie B matches for Pescara before joining Milan, recently earned his first call up to Italys national team. He could become an even more integral member of the Rossoneri if Bacca departs as rumored in January.Bacca was recently seen attending a match of his former club Sevilla, adding to speculation over his possible departure.---OTHER GAMES:Khouma Babacar scored an injury-time winner as Fiorentina beat struggling Palermo 2-1.Federico Bernardeschi had put Fiorentina ahead with a header and Mato Jajalo equalized with a curling free kick for Palermo early in the second half.In other matches, it was: Pescara 1, Cagliari 1; Sampdoria 2, Torino 0; and Sassuolo 3, Empoli 0.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
