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.

He failed to finish at the junior race at the 2011 South American Cross Country Championships in February. 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. 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. Bruno topped the podium at the 2011 South American Junior Championships in Athletics and also managed eighth in the 800 metres. His long season came to an end in October when he ran to 13th place in the 1500 m at the Pan American Games.

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. 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. 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.

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.
