: It is reported that there is a tie for the bronze medal in high jump. However, it is also reported that Enzo Hodebar from Guadeloupe cleared the 2.00m in the first attempt, while Aaron Worrell from Barbados cleared the 2.00m in the third attempt, what should have broken the tie.[4]
*: Initially, the U-18 4 × 400 m relay teams from Jamaica and the Bahamas were disqualified resulting in gold for Trinidad and Tobago, silver for the Cayman Islands (3:20.86) and bronze for Saint Kitts and Nevis (3:24.95). However, after successful protests, both teams were reinstated in the medal ranks.[8][10]

However, only Sakari Famous from Bermuda and Lamara Distin from Jamaica cleared the 1.68m in the second attempt and all other heights in the first attempt. Daejha Moss from the Bahamas cleared both the 1.68m and the 1.65m in the second attempt, while Anelia Austrie from Dominica cleared the 1.68m in the third and the 1.65m in the second attempt.
