2021 – Despite beginning the final day with no points, USC's 74 points were its most ever in the current scoring format which began in 1985 and are the most by any team since Texas A&M scored 75 to win the 2014 title. Anna Cockrell broke her 400m hurdles school record and became the second person to ever win the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles in the same season. USC's 4x100m relay team of Jasmine Jones, Angie Annelus, Lanae-Tava Thomas and TeeTee Terry won the title with a time of 42.82.
