He won the gold medal at the 1989 Central American and Caribbean Championships and silver medals at the 1990 Central American and Caribbean Games and the 1993 Central American and Caribbean Championships. He also competed at the 1988 Olympic Games and the 1993 World Championships without reaching the final.
In 2018, Edgardo Guilbe was credited with running a 21.95 200 meters and a 49.68 400 meters (even though he had not previously had a history of running this event). Those marks would have been significant improvements on Masters world records for a 52-year-old man. Subsequently, it has been discovered those marks were produced by Edgardo Guilbe Correa, his son.[2]
