The 15th South American Youth Championships in Athletics were held at the Estadio El Salitre^[1] in Bogotá, Colombia from November 4–5, 2000. For the first time, the competition was open for athletes from the age group under 18 (U18) rather than under 17 (U17) as before.

Medal winners are published for boys^[2] and girls.^[3] Complete results can be found on the "World Junior Athletics History" website.^[4]

All results are marked as "affected by altitude" (A), because Bogotá is located at 2,625 metres above sea level.
