After two early wins, Delgado advanced to the finals where she lost to three-time Pan Am fifth-place finisher Ange Jean-Baptiste (HAI).
Antonio Rodriguez (Miami, Fla. / USA Judo National Training Site at North Miami) won his first senior international medal with a bronze in the 81kg division. The win moves Rodriguez into the #1 IJF-Junior ranking at 81kg.
