Cam Meyer (track cycling) from Helena Valley finished fourth in heat 2 of the men’s 40km points race.
After finishing behind the English leader Oliver Wood on 28 points and athletes from New Zealand and Wales, Meyer’s 25 points was enough for him to make the final.
During the final Meyer came agonisingly close to a medal, but his 50 points was only good enough to see him finish fourth behind Scotland’s Mark Stewart (gold), New Zealand’s Campbell Stewart (silver) and England’s Ethan Hayter.
Fellow Australians Kelland O’Brien and Leigh Howard finished eighth and 21st respectively.
Laura Coles (shooting) from Hocking missed out on qualifying for the women’s skeet final.
Coles’ score of 67 was only good enough for ninth place, with the top six qualifying through to the final.
Australian teammate Aislin Jones finished third in the qualifier and would go on to finish sixth in the final.
Blair Evans (swimming) from Padbury finished fifth in heat 1 of the women’s 200m individual medley.
Her time of 2:13.63 was just 0.02 seconds slower than Australian teammate Meg Bailey in fourth and 1.39 seconds behind the Canadian heat winner.
The time was just enough to see her scrape into the final alongside Bailey.
Evans would again finish fifth despite a faster time of 2:12.76 and Bailey finished eighth.
England took gold with a blistering 2:09.80 swim from Siobhan Marie O’Connor, while Canada won both the silver and the bronze.
