10km U20 women

Third place to Iliana Mercedes Garcia Lormendez (MEX) in 46:22.6
10km U20 men
Amazing final sprint for first place between the two young Mexican contenders that has nothing to do with race walk.
The actors are Andres Olivas Nunez (MEX) and Gustavo Solis Avendano (MEX).
Should decide the photo finish between the two who is the winner.
Instead rightly the chief judge decides, although the race was judged by the Pit Lane Rule, to apply the Rule 230.4 (a) which provides for the direct disqualification in the last 100m.
If memory serves should be the first time in the history of an U20 competition judged by the Pit Lane Rule that that has happened.
Victory to Federico Gonzalez (MEX) in 42:32.0
Second place to Angel Rodriguez (MEX) in 43:35.9
Third place to Jefferson Segura Zepeda (MEX) in 44:02.6
