Medal haul for Bendigo after Saturday's and Sunday's action at the Chemist Warehouse-backed titles was two gold and two silver.

Bendigo Harriers' young gun Liam Shadbolt cleared the 1.97m mark to be the under-16 high jump champion.

The talented teenager from near Swan Hill had a personal best of 2m and was one of the medal favourites.

Hours and hours spent travelling to Melbourne for training sessions paid off for James Woods as he soared to glory in the under-20 pole vault.

Woods cleared 4.85m which was below his best of 5.05m reached at the Box Hill Rare Air VIII meet earlier in the week, but enough to strike gold.

Now with Keilor St Bernards, Woods previously competed with South Bendigo and holds several Bendigo Centre records.

In Sunday's action, Bendigo Harriers' hammer throwing star Hailey Stubbs was in top form.

The teenager from near Kyneton hit a mark of 44.26m, well above her best of 41.90m, to claim silver in the under-15 girls class.

It was a silver lining for South Bendigo's Kai Norton as he hit a personal best of 14.13m to be runner-up in the under-14 shot put.

Norton's previous best was 13m.

His campaign began with the under-14 hammer in which he threw the 3kg implement to a mark of 32.28m to be fourth.
