Northwave swimmer Mia Gordon, also 11, along with clubmates Van der Star, 17, and Matthew Gordon, 15, were the next most successful athletes with nine golds. Fellow Northwave swimmer Field, 16, was one back with eight golds.
Bay of Islands swimmer Elliot, 12, was next best from his club with seven golds.
While there were many other stand-out performances during the carnival, there can only be one named regional champion in each group - with each swimmer winning five gold medals or more across the full range of events in their age.
For 9-year-olds, Emilia Finer from the Bay of Islands was a standout, with Dargaville's Temepara Bristow and Manaia's Tyler Maugham claiming top honours in the 10-year-old age range.
Unsurprisingly Mia Gordon and Gaualofa claimed top 11-year-old honours while Elliot picked up the 12-year-old title.
For the 13 years age group, Northwave's Ellie Eastwood was top female, with Paul Linton from Bream Bay taking the male title.
Prime was predictably the top for the 14s, with fellow Northwave swimmer Hayley McIntosh also top in the age group.
Matthew Gordon was the best 15-year-old swimmer with Field picking up the 16-year-old title and another fellow Northwave swimmer in the form of Melita Raravula claiming the 17-year-olds along with Van der Star.
Whangarei's Northwave Swimming Club was the most successful club at the championships, winning more than 80 gold medals.
The Dargaville Swimming Club won the Crawford Woodman Trophy for the eight-person relay, across four age groups - being the only club that was able to put together a team.
Meanwhile, the rest of the relays were shared between Bream Bay (two), Bay of Islands and Northwave.
