Correct spelling, explanation: 11th is an ordinal number and is correctly spelled with -th at the end because the full-word form is pronounced eleventh. THe suffix -st is similarly used with numbers that are pronounced with such a sound at the end (with the word first). This is why 11th is correct and 11st not.
Definition of 11th:
