Leading the way is upcoming star Morgan Lake, who is top of the Under-15 rankings in both the long jump and pentathlon.
She is also second in the high jump, third in the shot, top 10 in the hurdles, and the quality of her long jump, which was measured at 5.77m, puts her third in the U17 rankings.
Deji Tobias' time of 10.30secs in the 100m put him in pole position of the U20 category and he is third in the 200m thanks to a 21.07 run.
Javelin thrower Dan Pembroke came top of the U20 rankings, while all three of Ashley Smith, Charlie Smith and Cameron Crawford came second in their respective events.
For multi-eventer Ashley it was the U20 decathlon, for Charlie the U17 pole vault and Crawford the U15 discus.
