Central hurdler signs with SWAC school
BEAUMONT, Texas -- On Tuesday morning, Central senior hurdler Paizley Armstrong signed her National Letter of Intent to run track and field at Southern University (Baton Rouge). Armstrong runs in both the 100 and 300-meter hurdles in high school and will run in the 100 and 400-meter hurdles in college.
Armstrong finished as the runner up in both hurdling events at the District 22-5A meets, running a 15.49 in the 100 hurdles and a 48.15 in the 300 hurdles. Because districts 21 and 22-5A chose not to have an area meet, the top two from each district meet automatically advanced to the Class 5A Region III meet.
Hurdling genes are strong in Armstrong’s family as she is the cousin of Jasper-native Bryan Bronson, the 1997 World Championship bronze medalist and three-time USA track and field champion in the 400-meter hurdles.
