ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis University head cross country/track and field coach Jon Bell today announced 15 additions to the Billikens' roster. All begin their eligibility next season.
 
"We are excited to add this class of Billikens to our roster," Bell said. "These student-athletes address different aspects of our program. We added depth to our men's and women's cross country roster, while specifically addressing some of our middle-distance needs on the track. We were able to add two of the best men's triple jumpers from the state of Missouri to replace our most recent graduates, Alex Oleson and Ethan Erusha. We added a thrower and women's jumpers to the mix, so we feel we have a complete roster. Just like every other program in the country, COVID really has had an impact on roster management, but I feel our staff met those challenges and we improved our team through the recruitment of these men and women."
 
The new Billiken student-athletes, along with their PRs, are listed below.
