The U.S. under-17 boys national team finished its month-long tour of Uruguay and Argentina with a 4-4-1 record.

The Americans finished second at the Torneo Internacional Sub-17 Provincia de San Luis and third at the Copa Ciudad de Rosario. In the final game of the tour, the U.S. U-17s defeated the Renato Cesarini Academy, 3-1. Ryan Finley led the Americans with two goals to finish as the tour's top scorer with four goals. Jose Altimorano scored three goals, and Jared Jeffrey and Ellis McLoughlin had two apiece.

John Hackworth's U-17s are scheduled to resume their residency program in Bradenton, Fla., after returning to the United States on Tuesday.
