101st is correct.
Ordinal numbers such as 21st, 33rd, 101st, etc., are formed by combining a cardinal ten with an ordinal unit. in your case 100 (cardinal) and 1st (ordinal)

These answers are amazing. At this writing, there are 46 answers that claim that this construction is incorrect. Why do 46 people who have no knowledge of English show that lack of knowledge by posting such answers? It is perfectly correct in both grammar and usage. The present infinitive of the verb 'do' is 'to do.' The present passive infinitive is 'to be done' - To + be + past participle. Now, how about this sentence: It should be done. Pretty normal - 'be done' is the bare infinitive - the infinitive without the 'to'. You drop the 'to' after verbs like 'should' and 'might.' You don't say 'I should to go' - You say 'I should go.' Next, somebody does it - whatever it is. I saw it be done. Still sound OK? Someone else does the same thing. I've seen it be done before.

101st is correct numberically. Although for grammerly correct you would have to spell out the words : one-hundred and one.
