He currently holds the Colombian national record for 5000 metres, 10000 metres and 20000 metres.

He won elite road races in his career, with highlights including the 1982 Berlin Marathon with a time of 2:14:47, as well as the 1982 America's Finest City Half Marathon and the Giro al Sas in 1978.[1]

Domingo coached at Galena High School, where his team included his family of three sons and a daughter.[2] Among them, the family name dominated distance race results in the area for decades, as the brothers advanced into Masters age divisions and the children excelled.

For the 2012 London Olympics, he trained athletes in Tunja, Colombia.
