Team trophies

Team trophies were distributed to the 1st place of the women category, to the 1st place of the men category, and to the 1st place overall (men and women categories).[1] However, points were only published for the overall (men and women combined) Sub-20 and Sub-17 categories.[16] Working through the results[9] yields the following unofficial ranking.

Remarks

The published points and corresponding ranks[16] for the Sub-20 category contain 3rd place ties for Jamaica and Mexico, 4th place ties for Barbados and Bermuda, and 5th place ties for Trinidad & Tobago and St. Lucia. However, there is no evidence in the published results.[9] Rather, corresponding ties are evident in the Sub-17 category, where they are already taken into account. Correcting the published Sub-20 point scheme correspondingly, it can be verified that the calculated points from the above tables are completely in line with the published point tables.

Participation

Detailed result lists can be found on the CACAC,[9] on the CFPI[6][7] and on the World Junior Athletics History website.[10] An unofficial count yields the number of about 440 athletes from about 24 countries:
