old Panamanian Alonso Edwards produced the best result of the 37th edition of the South American Junior Championships, which took place on 30 June and 1 July in the Brazilian city of São Paulo.

Edwards won the 100m in 10.28 (wind nil) to improved his own South American Junior record. The Panamanian had previously run 10.32 in 9 May in Caracas, Venezuela, at the ALBA Games.

Born on 8 December 1989, Edwards is coached by his compatriot Cecilio Woodroof, and didn’t have a great reaction to the gun (208/1000), but then his progression was truly impressive.

In a race full of quality, according to South American junior standards, Colombian Álvaro Gómez was second in 10.47, a national junior record, while Guyana’s Dax Danns was third with 10.48. Later on Sunday, Danns took the 200m title in 21.27.

Championship record for Fatecha

Another big name of this new generation is Paraguayan Javelin thrower Víctor Fatecha. The South American junior record holder (78.01; Fortaleza, 16 May 2007), and fourth at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing, won in São Paulo with 73.07, setting a new Championship record.

Peruvian Jorge McFarlane also was also able to impress with his form. The 19-year-old from Lima, won the 110m Hurdles (0.99m) in 13.94, but previously in heat 1, he had set a new South American junior record with 13.76 (wind nil), to improve his own 13.87 set in Lima on 1 July 2006. Mc Farlane also took the Long Jump with 7.52/-0.6, setting a new pb.

In the Triple Jump, Brazilian Alafans Delfino, also set a pb to capture the title with 15.53/0.1.

Once again, Brazil won the overall points classification with 385, while Colombia and Venezuela followed with 214 and 181. Chile and Ecuador also passed Argentina, which finished in a disappointing sixth place, only scoring one victory (15 year-old Evangelina Thomas at 1500m), and earning a total of 6 medals.

One of the most remarkable victories by the Colombian team, was the one of the 4x100 men’s relay (Jhon Riascos, Álvaro Gómez, Vladimir Valencia, Juan Pablo Maturana), which set a national junior record with 40.48.

Brazilian female sprinters dominate

Two brilliant Brazilian sprinters, Rosângela Cristina Santos and Bárbara da Silva Leôncio set the tone on the female side by winning the 100m in 11.56 (Santos; wind nil) and the 200m in 23.69 (Leôncio; wind nil).

Both of them ratified the quality showed at the Youth Nationals and the Troféu Brasil, and appear to be Brazil’s main hopes for the World Youth Championships in Ostrava.

Sixteen year old Santos has a pb of 11.50, and Leôncio (15) came very close of her fastest 200m (23.62). The two of them, along with Josiane Valentim and Ana Cláudia Lemos Silva ran a very strong 4x100m (44.42, the second fastest in South American junior history, after the 44.33 area record).

Championship records for Monterola and Ducó

On her way to recover the form that took her to the silver medal of the 2005 World Youth Championships, Venezuelan Keisa Monterola took the Pole Vault title with 4.15 and set a new Championship record.

Chilean Natalia Ducó also set a new Championship record at the Shot, winning with 16.67, by a great margin of 3.45m. The 18-year-old from Santiago, who posses the South American junior record with 16.87 (Valparaíso; 22 April 2007), had a brilliant series, with all six puts over 16m (16.54, 16.67, 16.40, 16.52, 16.36 and 16.62).

São Paulo will now host the 14th edition of the Pan-American Junior Championships (6-8 July). Some events not contested at the South American Junior Championships, such as men’s 10000m, and Race Walking and Decathlon and Heptathlon, will extract its winners from the Pan-Am’s classification.
