In June 2022, however, Armstrong won the outdoor NCAA championship in Eugene, Oregon over 100 metres 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]
