Medal table (unofficial)[]

The medal count has been published.[18] There is a mismatch between the unofficial medal count and the published medal count for the Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago. This can be explained by the fact that there were only three competitors in the boys U20 pole vault event, therefore not having been considered in the published medal count.
