The Paralympic team is riding after a fourth medal overnight Wednesday, but the chef de mission says they have a busy few days and "lots more potential medals" still to come.
Will Stedman took out the silver medal in the Men's 400m T36 final, after earlier wins at the velodrome and from sprinter Danielle Aitchison.
Paralympics chef de mission Raylene Bates told First Up everyone was performing "really really well".
"When you see athletes doing PBs at a pinnacle event and winning medals... you can't do any more than doing a PB and gaining a medal.
"Lots more competition to go, lots more potential medals but yeah, we're on a bit of a high at the moment."

Bates said they were looking forward to the cycling individual time trial, equestrian, athletics heats and more swimming on Thursday.
"It's quite exciting, pretty full packed programme for the next two or three days," she said.
The support for the athletes, especially when some one French was competing, was overwhelming for some of the athletes, Bates said.
"It's amazing, not just the swimming, the cycling at the velodrome, the Stade de France, even in the table tennis yesterday - you can't hear yourself think."
