Oxford City and Witney Roadrunners emerged as the winners of the overall girls and boys competitions after the final round of the Fit-2-Run Oxfordshire Junior League at Horspath Road on Sunday.
It was a competition of the highest standard, with Witney's youngsters in particuarly impressive form.
As well as winning the overall boys' title, Witney picked up three other trophies, winning the under 15 girls', under 15 boys and under 17/20 men's titles.
In total, Witney posted 23 first places and 52 personal bests across the age groups.
After the first two matches, the under 15 girls' age group contest was close going into the final round.
With every athlete putting in some fine performances, Witney won the trophy by just 17 points.
Claire Butler and Alice Parsons won both A and B strings of the 200m in identical times of 28.0secs to set the ball rolling.
Hollie Lane and Sarah Dimond did the double in the shot with distances of 7.16m (pb) and 6.05m respectively.
Dorcas Wright joined Lane in the long jump as Witney again took the two top places with leaps of 4.66m (pb) and 4.70m respectively.
Witney's under 15 boys had held the lead all through the season.
And they confirmed the title with some excellent results on the final day.
Witney also came away with the under 17/20 men's title.
Each under 17 athlete played their part during the season, often gaining valauable points in less favourable events.
During the final match, Sam Hook and Robert Gunn won the A and B string triple jump competitions with leaps of 11.96m and 10.35m respectively.
Hook set a club record in the 100m, recording a time of 11.5, while Lewis Warren won the 200m in 24.1.
Sven Bayliss joined Hook, Gunn and Warren in the 4x100m relay to break another club record in an excellent time of 47.2.
With the under 9s, 11s and 13s boys' teams all gaining valuable points throughout the league campaign, it secured Witney the overall men's title as well to complete a fabulous four-timer.
Witney finished second to Bicester on the day.
Oxford City wrapped up the overall girls title, winning the event by 46 points.
Martha Lloyd was one of City's big stars, dropping down in distance to run the under 17 women's 800m for the first time.
And she produced a superb run to smash her personal best by almost five seconds, crossing the line in 2.25.9 to leave the rest of the field trailing in her wake.
Rebecca Hussey, City's fast-improving under 13 sprinter, achieved a personal best of 28.0secs in the 200m, while Kirsty Warland lowered her best in the under 15 girls' 100m with a time of 13.3secs.
