Golds in athletics and swimming were part of a four-medal haul for the Australian team on day six of the World University Games in Korea.
Swimmer Holly Barratt put in a personal-best effort to take gold in the 50m backstroke, her second medal of the games in Gwangju.
The West Australian, who won a bronze in the 50m butterfly earlier in the week, won Thursday's race with a personal best of 28.04 seconds.
"I wasn't expecting that. It was quite a big (personal best) and I thought if I do a good race I might come in second, but the best thing for me was the time," Barratt said.
Queensland's Dane Bird-Smith, meanwhile, raced through persistent rain to win the 20km walk in the morning.
The 22-year-old beat out Canada's Benjamin Thorne to win by just three seconds.
Other Australian success came from the men's 4x200m freestyle relay side, who won silver, and Queensland long jumper Naa Anang, who produced a personal best to win bronze.
At the end of day six, the Uniroos sit tenth on the medal table with thirteen medals - three gold, two silver and eight bronze.
