McQueen High School inducted 14 former Lancers athletes into the school’s athletic Hall of Fame during the school’s season-opening football game August 16, 2024. The induction ceremony took place on Ken Dalton Field at 7 p.m. with each of the honorees being greeted by the fans. Karyna Armstrong is one of the athletes selected for this year’s Hall of Fame class. The school’s announcement includes the following recognition information for Karyna.
Karyna Armstrong graduated from McQueen in 2012 where she was a standout on the track and field team. Her last name symbolizes her abilities as she was a back-to-back regional champion in the shot put with a record-breaking mark of 41’1 3/4”, and regional champion in the discus where she still holds the record with a mark of 124’2. On top of her athletic prowess, she was her class president for all four years!
After graduating from McQueen, she competed for Boise State University where she threw the hammer and weight throws and had personal bests of 62’1, and 193’11 all while being a double major in criminal justice and political science. After graduating from Boise State, Karyna transferred to the University of Miami where she continued to compete on the track team while earning her master’s in public administration.
Currently, Karyna lives in Las Vegas, where she is a licensed attorney at the law firm of McDonald Carano LLP where she also serves as a Vice Chair of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee. She has also been recognized by Mountain States Super Lawyers – “Rising Stars” (2024), Nevada Business Magazine – “Best Up & Coming Attorneys” (2024) and “Top Rank Attorneys” (2024, 2023), Meritas Law Firms Worldwide Women’s Leadership Congress – “Rising Star of the Year” (2024), and Profiles in Diversity Journal – “Diverse Lawyers Making a Difference,” one of only 11 lawyers to receive the award across the U.S. (2023).
