Countries may only enter athletes in which they have not qualified in. Open to athletes from Canada and the United States only. If an athlete from either Canada or the United States qualify through the Pan American Championship, the other nation automatically gets the North American spot. If both nations qualify, then the top three from the Pan American Championships will earn the spots. If an athlete is injured they may be replaced by another athlete from the same country. There has been a late change in the qualification system which the Canadian federation has appealed. Jesús Rodríguez of Puerto Rico had originally won the spot, but withdrew due to an injury. El Salvador's Carlos Galán will replace him.
