Medal summary
Gold medal winners and their results were published. A complete list of medal winners can be found on the MásGoles webpage (click on "JUEGOS CENTROAMERICANOS" in the low right corner). Gold medalists were also published in other sources. A couple of results can be found in the archives of Costa Rican newspaper La Nación.
