Notes

[edit]

^ a Erwan Cassier dedicated his win to his late father, Frédéric Cassier, who won the title in Apia, in 1983.

^ b Toea Wisil broke the women's 100 metre games record in her first round heat clocking 11.50 seconds. The previous record was 11.55 seconds.

^ c The women's 3000m steeplechase only had 3 entries. Therefore according to the Samoa 2019 Athletics technical manual section 9.3, only gold and silver will be awarded in events with such cases.[3]
