During the 1994 spring season, Armstrong put together perhaps his best performance at an OVC Tournament. He fired a 36-hole total of 143 and finished second, only one stroke behind the winner. For his efforts in 1994, Armstrong was named All-OVC.

Armstrong's most cherished memory may have been helping the Eagles win the 1993 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. The 54-hole event was held at Springhouse Golf Club in Nashville, Tenn., and MSU fired a team total of 917 to win by six strokes. Teammate Mike Brumfield won the individual competition that year.

His family is familiar with the Athletic Hall of Fame and the university too. His wife Jodi (McMackin) Armstrong was a standout softball athlete for the Eagles and the first All-OVC award winner for softball at MSU. She was inducted in 2010.

Armstrong attended Morehead State from 1989-95, earning his Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Electronic Technology in 1995. 

His career after college golf has been upstanding as well. He first went to work at Cabletron Systems in Ironton Ohio, where they manufactured computer networking equipment. Armstrong moved on to Emerson Electric in Ironton, which is currently owned by the Vertiv Corporation. He has been with Emerson now for the past 20 years as a manufacturing engineer. The company produces and manufactures industrial HVAC systems for computer rooms.
