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.
