The snatch part of this category was very entertaining, with four lifters finishing within two kilos.

Yenny Sinisterra (Colombia) finished fourth, but did set a Pan-American junior record. Jourdan Delacruz (USA) took the total gold with a 116 clean and jerk that was too good for the rest of the field.
