After setting new benchmarks in the 12 years 50m butterfly (37.06), 50m backstroke (38.52), 50m breaststroke (42.25) and 100m freestyle (1:10.54), Devries finished his spree by easily breaking his own record in the 200m individual medley (2:49.04).
Tom Swann also set a new record in the 11 years 50m butterfly (37.06) , as did Harry Keane in the 13 years 50m butterfly (37.06).
"I thought I could break the 200 individual medley one because I did a pretty big PB in Canberra (NSW Country Regional titles last weekend)," Devries said.
"I was three seconds off it (today). Usually at carnivals I race against 16 year olds, against them it's a lot harder so I go a bit faster."
Lutheran Primary School will hold their carnival on Wednesday.
AGE CHAMPIONS: Junior girls - Ellie Swann, Junior boys - George O'Hara, 11 year girls - Abbie Donelan, 11 year boys - Tom Swann, 12/13 year girls Emily Whiting, 12/13 year boys - Ben Devries. Winning house - Trinity.
