In the under-15 event at Bright, Victoria, Sam Fox finished fifth and Innes Ferrier, sixth, with Innes's older brother, Ewan, 13th in the under-17 race.
"All three boys should be very proud, as that was their goal for the weekend and they did it," Leslie said.
"Sam Fox had a sprint for fourth, but just got pipped on the line, while Innes had a cracker, and he gives 110 per cent all the time. The under-17s was hotly contested with some super-fast racing, so for Ewan to finish 13th was a fantastic result."
Fox and Innes Ferrier had to avoid a crash at the start of their race.
An eight-person team from LMBC will also see Alex Lack contest the under-19s, Brendan Adair and Tom Goddard in the under-23s, and Ben Mather and Row Fry among the elite competitors. The titles end on Monday.
