In 1999 Wongsodikromo took gold in the Mixed Doubles U-19 and the Team Event U-19, and also silver in the Boys Singles & Boys Doubles U-19 categories at the Carebaco Games held in Suriname. The year 2000 was a top year for Wongsodikromo; he participated in the IBF World Academy training camp held in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2000 Wongsodikromo won a gold medal in the Boys Singles U-15 category at the South American Juniors Championships in Argentina. At that same event, he also won a silver medal in the Boys Doubles U-15 category.

At the 2000 Carebaco Games, Wongsodikromo won five gold medals, winning the triple in the U-19 category plus Boys Doubles in the U-17 category and the U-19 team event for Suriname.

At the same event, Wongsodikromo also took a bronze medal in the U-19 Mixed team event, where the Surinamese juniors team surprisingly beat favorites Canada, ending up in third place behind the USA and Peru, but beating out fourth-place Canada and fifth-place Brazil. In the 2002 Carebaco Games, Wongsodikromo won gold in the Men's Doubles U-19 and silver in the Men's Singles juniors categories in Puerto Rico.
