Cycling: Idaho Honors Kristen Armstrong

Kristin Armstrong graduated from the University of Idaho 22 years ago but her legacy will last forever following the dedication of a part of Paradise Path. The dedication ceremony was held in her honor before the football game with remarks from University of Idaho President Chuck Staben, Moscow Mayor Bill Lambert and Armstrong herself.

Armstrong became a University of Idaho graduate from the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences in 1995. Armstrong pursued a career in sports medicine after graduation but found success as an athlete herself. She claimed her first gold medal in the cycling time trial at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and again at the 2012 London Olympics.
