The carnival was the last to be run at the old track with the new complex set to open in the coming weeks.
Clayton clocked 14.90 seconds in her 9-years 100m to equal the mark set by M Hunt (Sandon Public School) in 2003.
An estimated 700 athletes from around the region competed on Friday with the top three placegetters in each event progressing onto the state carnival, which will be held at Sydney Olympic Park on November 5 and 6.
Inverell Public's Ella Gleeson was one of the standout performers finishing in the top three in five of her events.
