Career
[edit]Bruno was born in Concordia, Entre Ríos, and made his international debut at the 2008 South American Youth Championships in Athletics, where he came fourth in the 1500 metres.[2] An appearance at the 2009 World Youth Championships in Athletics followed, but he failed to make it past the first round.[3] He entered the 3000 metres for Argentina at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and placed fifth in the "B" final.[4] That same year he ran a series of personal bests: 3:47.35 minutes for the 1500 m (a national junior record), 8:23.51 minutes for the 3000 m and 14:38.70 minutes for the 5000 metres.[5]
He failed to finish at the junior race at the 2011 South American Cross Country Championships in February.[6] Despite this, he won a senior bronze medal in the 1500 m at the 2011 South American Championships in Athletics held in Buenos Aires, running a near personal best time of 3:47.81 minutes.[7] He did not match this form at the 2011 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships and came fourth, missing a medal by a fraction of a second.[8] Bruno topped the podium at the 2011 South American Junior Championships in Athletics and also managed eighth in the 800 metres.[9] His long season came to an end in October when he ran to 13th place in the 1500 m at the Pan American Games.[5]
In May 2012 he ran four minutes for the mile to take bronze at the South American Road Mile Championships, then established a South American junior record in the 1500 m with a run of 3:40.86 minutes (breaking the long-standing mark of multiple South American record holder Hudson de Souza.[10] He made the final at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics, but finished in last place, failing to match his time from the qualifying round.[11] He established himself as one of the region's best young runners at the 2012 South American Under-23 Championships in Athletics, winning the 1500 m and taking a silver medal in the 5000 m behind Víctor Aravena.[12]
In the 2013 season Bruno improved his bests to 1:49.98 for the 800 m, 3:40.67 for the 1500 m and 7:56.98 for the 3000 m.
