Katie Archibald (Wiggle-High5) took three national titles at the 2018 British track championships, winning the individual pursuit, points race and scratch race.
The three events were all ones that the 23-year-old Scot had gone into the championships as defending champion. She also added bronze in the sprint – a discipline that she does not normally compete in.
There was more success for the Archibald family, as Katie's brother John took his first national title in the men's points race.
Team KGF continued their collective strong performances, with the squad's riders filling all three positions on the individual pursuit podium.
Recent World Cup round winner Charlie Tanfield caught defending champion Dan Bigham in the gold medal final, while John Archibald took bronze.
However, there was upset in the men's team pursuit final as Team KGF's A line-up suffered a mechanical issue and dropped to riders, leaving 100% ME to take the title. KGF's B team took bronze to give them second and third places on the podium.
Team Breeze won the women's team pursuit with Backstedt-Hotchillee in second and Liv CC-Halo Cycles in third.
Katy Marchant (Yorkshire Lass CC) enjoyed success in the sprint disciplines, coming away with both the individual sprint and 500-metre time trial titles.
Jason Kenny joined Jack Carlin and Philip Hindes (North West Region A) in winning the men's team sprint title ahead of Matt and Tom Rotherham and Joel Partington (Sportcity Velo). North West Region B (Alex Jolliffe, Lewis Stewart and Hamish Turnbull) took bronze.
North West Region A's duo of Lauren Bate and Georgia Hilleard also took the women's team sprint.
Jack Carlin won men's sprint title, with Jess Crampton (Sportcity Velo) and Lewis Oliva (Team Wales) claiming the women's and men's keirin crowns respectively.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, n exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
