Emerging sprint star Sam Ellicott led the Tamworth charge at Barden Park.
Ellicott completed the under-17 men’s 200-400 double to take home two gold medals, while he sealed silver in the 100m.
It was a Tamworth quinella in the blue-riband event as Jaxson Styles ran a time of 11.70sec to shade Ellicott.
The roles were reversed in the 200 as Ellicott ran 23.01 to salute by 0.10 of a second from Styles.
Tristan Styles also brought home a gold (under-18 javelin) and silver (under-18 long jump) and John Moore was first across the line in the under-20 110m hurdles.
In the younger age groups, Bethany Schulhin produced a sterling display to win the under-14 javelin thanks to a throw of 25.18m.
Makayla Beddow (second U16 high jump, third U16 javelin), Samantha Addis (second, U9 shotput) and Hayley Schulhin (third U11 shotput) also won medals.
