The St. Louis Lady Saints continued their track dynasty taking home their fifth straight track and field title. The Saints won the 2020 Indoor title before COVID-19 canceled the outdoor meet and have since, won both the indoor and outdoor titles the last two seasons. The Lady Saints title run included individual championships in 300 hurdles, 4x200 meter relay, 1600, 3200, discus throw, high jump, long jump and triple jump.

Tia Reder took home the Long jump and triple jump title while also finishing runner-up in the 4x100 relay. Fellow Lady Saint Myca Trail, a two-time basketball champion, also took home two titles including the high jump and the 4x200 relay.
