Perkins, who won the sprint on Thursday, was the clear favourite for the keirin and easily qualified through to the final where a trio of New South Wales riders, Andrew Taylor, Mitch Bullen and Peter Lewis, did their best to shut him out of the medals. They launched an attack three laps from the finish but their pace wasn't enough to hold off Perkins who, with Victorian team mate Niblett on his wheel, flew past them to hit the front at the bell and hold on for a seemingly easy win.

"It was pretty tough to go a long way out, 500 plus metres, but I guess I was lucky enough to have a team mate following me there giving it a bit of distance," said Perkins, 24, "Given New South Wales had the train going, I took the initiative to go earlier and lucky I had the legs to hold them off at the end."

Niblett was second and Dubbo's Andrew Taylor crossed the line in third place.

"The level that we had here this year was absolutely unbelievable, probably the best we have ever had, there were so many great times and overall an awesome display this week from all the states," said Perkins. "Two out of two is not bad, the preparation leading into these championships was a pretty heavy block, I am a bit surprised in a way with the form I have had to be honest.

"Six weeks to go till the world titles I still have a bit of work to do, but to be at this level now it is all good signs," said Perkins whose wife Kristine is due to give birth to their second child this month. "I am looking forward to the challenge, but now I am looking forward to getting home and catching up with the family before heading back into the gym.

New South Wales' Scott Law was awarded the Elite Champion of Champions topping the points table through his wins in the scratch race and omnium and a silver medal in the kilometre time trial.

The Ride of the Series was awarded to South Australian Jack Bobridge who set a 4km world record of 4:10.534 eclipsing the previous mark of 4:11.114 set 15 years ago by Great Britain's Chris Boardman.

Taylah Jennings (QLD) capped off a remarkable week claiming her third gold and sixth medal of the championships with her win in the under 19 women's keirin final.

Jennings chose her moment to attack hitting the front a lap from home and leaving her rivals behind. Victoria's Imogen Jelbart and South Australia's Rikki Belder claimed the silver and bronze medals respectively.

"I was really hoping for a medal in the keirin, but certainly didn't expect gold," said Jennings who was named the under 19 Champion of Champions. She won the omnium and scratch race, claimed silver in the time trial and points race and was third in the individual pursuit.

"This week I was hoping for maybe one or two medals, I have only ever got silvers and bronzes at the national championships before, so it is really exciting especially being a first year under 19."

Jennings is based in Rockhampton and is coached by Reg Tucker, the early coach of Olympic and World Champion Anna Meares.

"She is my idol, a really good role model, especially as she is from Queensland," explained Jennings, "At training I am always reminded of her, I am kind of expected to be her, so it gives me the drive to be like her," said Jennings.

In the under 19 men's sprint, Victorians Jaron Gardiner, Luke Parker and Jacob Schmid smashed the Australian Championship and All-Comers record on their way to winning gold.

The trio posted the fastest time in the earlier qualifying, but shaved a further half a second off their time to post 46.457 in the final to defeat New South Wales' Timothy McMillan, Gary Ryan and Ben Young (48.118) who claimed the silver.

"Having a team like we did it's amazing, how we rode, how we improved our times it's amazing," said Gardiner, 17. "I was expecting it to go down a little bit but to see it come down to that I was stoked.

"Going up against Timothy McMillan third wheel, of course he was the one I was watching he's a brilliant rider," said Gardiner. "But he's a good mate, we're all friends at the end of the day except when it comes to the track - we're enemies."

West Australians Jack Ward, Luke Zaccaria & Mitchell Benson (48.178) defeated South Australia's Edward Coad, Ben Fergusson and Robrt Jon McCarthy (49.185) for the bronze medal.

Annette Edmondson (SA) began the Championships with victory in the omnium and today added the women's 10km scratch race gold to her tally. Shannon McCurley (IRL) was second and Tasmanian Amy Cure third.

Edmondson timed her run in the 40 lap event to perfection riding over the top of WA pair Josephine Tomic and Melissa Hoskins at the bell to race away with the victory.

"I am very happy, it has been a long week and a very nice way to finish off the championships," said Edmondson, 19. "I had two great team mates in Sinead (Noonan) and Liz (Georgouras) and we had planned to set up a train for me at the end, but things went differently as races do," explained Edmondson. "So when I saw the WA girls setting up theirs I managed to get on and things worked out really well for me as I managed to come around in the last lap to win.

"I put in a lot of hard effort at SASI over the past few months and I couldn't be happier with where I am at," said Edmondson.

In the Para-cycling tandem sprint finals, Kieran Modra and pilot David Short from South Australia were far too strong in the men's event, defeating West Australia's Thanh Tu and pilot Chris Pratley in straight heats. In the women's final, South Australia's Felicity Johnson and pilot Stephanie Morton also claimed gold outsprinting West Australians Victoria Dilley and pilot Amanda O'Connor.

The final event of the Championships was the U19 men's Madison where Jackson Law and Caleb Ewan rode with clinical precision to clinch the win for New South Wales.

Although Law crashed early on through no fauly of his own he recovered quickly and worked well with Ewan in the 120 lap, 40km race. The pair won three of the six sprints on offer and scored points in the remaining sprints to finish on 22 points.

The speedy Ewan, who this week also pocketed gold in the omnium and points race, was the most aggressive in the field launching numerous attacks that saw his team gain three laps. Silver medalists Alex Edmondson and George Tansley (SA) (18 points) and third placed West Australians Mitchell Benson and Nicholas Graham-Dawson (14 points) finished on the same lap as the winners.

"I am thrilled, it was a great race with Caleb, he is just too fast I can put him anywhere in the race and he can win the sprint," said Law who won the individual pursuit earlier in the week, "When you're riding with him, it makes your job a whole lot easier as all I had to do was chase down the breaks and make sure it all stayed together.

"The fall did make me angry because I don't like crashing, but it's all part of the game. I just made sure we won the next sprint, so once I got my legs going again I was fine.

"When we won our third sprint I thought 'yeah this is looking good', we just have to make sure nobody gets a lap on us, but until the last lap I knew they would make it hard and keep attacking us.

"We just held their wheels until the last lap and brought it home," said Law.

South Australia claimed the Robina Joy Trophy for topping the points tally based on the performances of their elite male riders.

The 2011 Scody Cycling Australia Track National Championships were staged from Sunday January 30 to Sunday February 6 at Sydney’s Dunc Gray Velodrome.
