List of South American under-20 records in athletics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South American junior records in the sport of athletics are ratified by the Atletismo Sudamericano. Athletics records comprise the best performance of an athlete before the year of their 20th birthday. Technically, in all under 20 age divisions, the age is calculated "on December 31 of the year of competition"[1] to avoid age group switching during a competitive season.
