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.
