(Nov. 19, 2007)  Kelsy Armstrong, a nine-time letterwinner at Sioux Center High School (four in basketball, three in volleyball and two in track), has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Briar Cliff University next year.

"We are very excited to have Kelsy join the Briar Cliff basketball program," said BCU head coach Mike Power. "Kelsy can really play the uptempo game and that is what we want. I'm excited for Kelsy, her family and us."

Armstrong, a captain on this year's basketball team, is a four-year letterwinner and two-year starter. As a junior, the 5-11 guard/forward shot 50 percent from the floor and averaged 8.0 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 3.0 apg and 2.0 spg. She also shot an impressive 56 percent from three-point land. Armstrong has played on travel teams since the eighth grade, playing with Nebraska Elite in both 2006 and 2007.

In volleyball, she was a two-year starter, earning second team all-conference honors in 2007. She was a three-time academic all-conference selection and her team won three conference championships. In track, she was an all-conference and all-state selection, competing in the 200m, 4x200m, 4x400m, 4x800m and the shuttle relay. Her teams won conference and regional title and finished third in state in 2005 and 2006.

Aside from athletics, the National Honor Society member is also involved in FCA, student council and Key Club. The daughter of Larry and Kathleen Armstrong also serves as a religious education teacher.
