Stanly José del Carmen Cruz is sprinter from the Dominican Republic. He competed at the 2016 Olympics in the 200 m and 4 × 100 m relay, but failed to reach the finals.

The 17th Ibero-American Championships in Athletics were held at the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between May 14-16, 2016. Since the event served also as the athletics event test for the 2016 Summer Olympics, countries that do not compete at Ibero-American Championships attended the event, including United States, Saudi Arabia and Australia. However, medals won by those athletes did not count toward the total medal tally.
