Angel Guerreros (born 7 January 1953) is a Paraguayan sprinter. He competed in the men's 100 metres at the 1972 Summer Olympics. [1]

Guerreros won two silver medals at the 1972 South American Junior Championships in Athletics, in the 100 m and 4 × 100 m relay. [2]

He also competed at the 1975 Pan American Games in the 100 m and 200 m. He finished 4th in his 200 m heat on 15 October 1975, advancing to the semi-finals. [3]

Guerreros led the Paraguayan Athletics Federation for several years after his retirement, keeping in touch with his contemporary competitors. He used his house as a meeting point for Juan Rieder, Modesto Garcia, and Francisco Rojas Soto, the three other members of Guerreros' Paraguayan record-setting 4 × 100 m relay team. He had lost touch with Garcia after competing but they reunited after the record was broken in 2014, at age 74. [4]
