The Murray State women's track & field team posted their seventh title win in the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Roy Stewart Stadium/Marshall Gage Track in Murray, Kentucky.

The host Racers took control in day two and sped away from the field on the final day of competition with five total individual championships over three days, including a sweep in the Heptathlon and 100m. The Racers also had six runner-up finishes including one in the final challenge of the event in the 4x400m relay. The Racers produced 15 PR's on their way to the championship.

MSU's outdoor title is the second under head coach Adam Kiesler after the Racers won the title in 2019. MSU's history of wins in the outdoor championship have come in 1981, 1982, 1989, 1991, 1992, 2019 and now 2022.
