Michael McCarthy from St Paul's Booragul broke the record in the 13yrs 100m that had stood since 1980 with a time of 11.97.
Harrison Doley from St Mary's Maitland smashed the record in the 17 years and over 800m with a time of 1.59.68.
Travis Peterson from St Pius Adamstown broke the record in the 16yrs shot put with a throw of 14.43.
Liam Fairweather from St Mary's Maitland broke a long standing record from 1990 in the 17 years and over long jump with a jump of 6.87.
Riley Blewitt from St Peter's Maitland broke the record in the junior triple jump with a jump of 11.34 and Kane Thomas equalled a record in the senior triple jump with a jump of 12.75.
