Medal table

*:There is a mismatch between the unofficial medal count and the published medal count above. The unofficial count results in only 3 gold medals for both the Bahamas and Puerto Rico, only 13 silver medals for Puerto Rico, no silver or any other medal for Saint Lucia, and only 7 bronze medals for Mexico and only 2 bronze medals for Barbados. This could be explained by published results being incomplete. In the technical manual the events 2000 metres steeplechase in the Girls under 20 (Junior) category and Octathlon in the Boys under 17 (Youth) category were scheduled, but no results could be found. Assuming that the published medal tables are correct, and working through the published medal count, the following result could tentatively be assigned: 2000 metres steeplechase girls (U-20): gold for Puerto Rico, silver for Puerto Rico, and bronze for Barbados, octathlon boys (U-17): gold for the Bahamas, silver for Saint Lucia, and bronze for Mexico. The number of events would increase to 82.

Participation (unofficial)

Haiti competed for the first time at the championships. Detailed result lists can be found on the World Junior Athletics History website. An unofficial count yields a number of about 422 athletes (260 junior (under-20) and 162 youth (under-17)) from about 31 countries, a new record number of participating nations:

(3) (1) (4) (23) (23) (6) (1) (8) (4) (2) (1) (11) (8) (12) (10) (2) (2) (70) México (42) (9) (1) (8) (88) (3) (2) (2) (2) (40) (2) (7) (25)
