An (official) medal count was published. However, there are a couple of mismatches to the unofficial count as displayed above

^[a] The official count does not contain the results (gold for Dominica, silver for Martinique, bronze for Jamaica) for the girls' U-17 javelin throw which is dubbed as "exhibition event".^[7]
^[b] The official count displays 8 bronze medals for Bermuda, but only one bronze medal for Guadeloupe. This is not reflected in the results.^[2]^[3]^[5]
^[c] The official count displays 37 gold and 13 bronze medals for Jamaica. If this was correct, there would be 66 gold medals, 65 silver medals, and 64 bronze medals in total (disregarding the results for the girls U-17 javelin throw). Again, there is no evidence for this in the results.^[2]^[3]^[5]

Participation (unofficial)[]

Detailed result lists can be found on the CFPI Timing,^[2]^[3]^[4] and on the World Junior Athletics History website.^[5] An unofficial count yields the number of about 427 athletes (234 junior (under-20) and 193 youth (under-17)) from about 24 countries:
