Zane Edwards claimed gold in the Under 15 100m hurdles with a personal best, and silver in the 200m hurdles, 100m, 200m and 400m.

In the Under 17s, Ashlyn Wall put in a personal best performance to win gold in the 1500m, also taking out the win in the 800m.

Another personal best time claimed Ashlyn silver in the 400m.
