Alia Armstrong (born 28 December 2000) is an American track and field athlete.[1] While running for Louisiana State University, Armstrong initially had a hard time in 2022 when she was disqualified from the SEC indoor championships and disqualified again at the NCAA indoor finals. In June 2022, however, Armstrong won the outdoor NCAA championship in Eugene, Oregon over 100 meters hurdles running a new personal best 12.55 in the semi-finals, and then 12.57 in the final.[2] Armstrong then finished third in the senior 2022 USATF championship, after running a personal best 12.47 seconds in the final, also held in Eugene, Oregon. With this performance Armstrong was able to make the USA squad for the 2022 World Athletics Championships, again held in Eugene, Oregon.[3] In the heats of the World Championships Armstrong ran 12.48 to make the semi-finals on her major championship debut.[4]
She was featured on The Money Game: LSU, a six-part NIL-focused docuseries by Prime Video that followed her, Jayden Daniels, Angel Reese, Flau'jae Johnson, Livvy Dunne, and Trace Young through LSU's 2023–24 sports season.[5] The series was nominated for Outstanding Documentary Series (Serialized) at the 46th Sports Emmy Awards.[6]
