BYU cross country transfer Elijah Armstrong hopes to realize national championship aspirations
Former Boise State cross country runner Elijah Armstrong witnessed BYU win the 2019 NCAA Cross Country Championship and now he is running with the Cougars “at the place (he) needed to be.”
“I realized there was no university in the country in terms of standards and values, other than BYU, that upholds that same level of excellence in all categories of life,” Armstrong said.
Armstrong, now a senior, transferred to BYU in hopes to contribute to back-to-back national championships for the Cougars.
“As a team, we have the opportunity to continue that dynasty or legacy. For me to be able to part of that is something special,” Armstrong said.
