South American U18 Championships in Athletics

Biennial athletics event


The South American U18 Championships in Athletics (Campeonato Sudamericano U18 de atletismo) is a biennial athletics event organized by "Confederación Sudamericana de Atletismo" (CONSUDATLE), the South American area association of the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF). Starting in 1973, the competition was open for athletes under-17 in the early years. Since 2000 the international age group definition (under 18) has applied.[1][2] Up until the 2016 edition the competition was known as the South American Youth Championships in Athletics. The tournament is open for athletes from CONSUDATLE member federations. Athletes from IAAF members of other geographical areas may be invited. However, they are not considered in the classification.[3]

Events

Each member federation is allowed to enter 2 athletes and 1 relay team per event. Due to the latest edition of article 27 of the regulations of CONSUDATLE[3] the following events are held during the championships:

A trophy is also presented to both a male and a female athlete for the most outstanding performance.[3]
