Kaysee Armstrong

Lees-McRae College Director of Cycling Tim Hall announced Kaysee Armstrong as the assistant women's cycling for the Bobcat cycling program in August 2024. Armstrong joins Lees-McRae after a successful professional career in cycling with Julian Bicycles where she finished with a victory at the Breck Epic Stage Race in Breckenridge, Colorado.

Armstrong is currently the Head Cross Country Mountain Bike Coach for Gravity Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee where she managed team logistics for 30 athletes and implemented individual athlete's training plans.

"I'm really honored to be joining the Lees-McRae cycling staff," said Armstrong. "The position came at a perfect time for me - just as I'm closing the chapter on my professional off-road racing career. Taking the next step with a program that has so much history, and a great opportunity to develop women's cycling on the collegiate level is a perfect way to continue my work in the cycling world."

In her professional career, Armstrong was part of Juliana Bicycles, where she won at the Breck Epic Stage Race in Breckenridge, Colorado. Armstrong also was a professional cyclist for Liv Cycling from 2018 to 2022 where she traveled the world racing mountain bikes and worked with a global product development team based out of Ventura, California. 

Armstrong is a 2016 graduate of King University, where she led the Tornado cycling program to three individual national championships at the 2015 USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships. She earned individual titles in the Division 2 individual omnium, short track, and cross country. Armstrong claimed the top spot at the Southeastern Collegiate Cycling Conference (SECCC) Championships in short track and the cross country disciplines. Armstrong collected the SECCC Championship in cyclocross and was the USA Cycling national runner-up in 2015.

Armstrong earned a master's degree in accounting and health care administration from King University in 2016.
