In the ECAC meet, she anchored the DMR which ran 12:10.70, an SLU record which ranked in the top 25 in the NCAA. Hulton was a two-time Liberty League performer of the week during her senior season and was the league's Rookie of the Year in her first season of intercollegiate track.

Bell was the Liberty League champion in the high jump at 1.60 meters, which was a new league record. She was third in the triple jump at 10.75 meters, second in the high jump at 1.63 at NYSCTC, and fifth in triple jump at 10.83. Bell was fourth in the high jump at ECAC. She had a season's best 1.65 in high jump, which is a SLU record and tied for 26th best in NCAA. Hulton was tabbed a two-time Liberty League performer of the week and two-time Rookie of the Week.

Curran and her staff led the Saints to their second straight Liberty League indoor championship and to a second place finish in the NYSCTC Championship.
