In the final of the men's 4000m individual pursuit, it was a battle royale between one half of Australia's team pursuit world champion quartet in Alex Edmondson (SA) and Alex Morgan (VIC).
In the afternoon session, Edmondson posted a personal best to qualify fastest (4:21.007) by almost two seconds. In the final, Edmondson bettered his new mark by almost one second, crossing the line in 4mins 20.340secs, three seconds ahead of Morgan (4:23.854).
"It was one of my goals to knock this off, so to come out here and wear the green and gold (is great) and to be able to ride two personal bests on the way to clinching the gold, I'm happy with it," said Edmondson.
"(Morgan and I) are so close off and on the bike (so it's) pretty cool to be able to beat him on the bike, but at the same time I knew he was going to be hard to beat, but I'm so glad to come out on top."
Edmondson, 20, now holds five national track titles, the 2014 omnium and Madison titles won in Melbourne last December, plus the 2013 points and team pursuit titles which he will defend later this week.
It added to an already crowded trophy cabinet at the Edmondson household, equalling sister Annette's current tally of five national titles.
"I don't know where this has all come from. It's a lot of hard work and a lot of determination," Edmondson said. "When I was younger I didn't get so much success, so to be able to see where I am now it's really exciting.
"But with Annette, at the end of the day, it's not about who's going to get the most medals, it's all about the family success. We're proud of each other's efforts (and that) spurs us on."
New South Wales' Benjamin Harvey (4:26.762) took the bronze medal over Queensland's Mitchell Mulhern (4:27.831).
