corredor


Explanation:
Racer es corredor/a en atletismo, por lo que si se antepone la palabra boy es para dar a entender que se trata de un corredor (un varón).

Rebecón


Explanation:
Sarah has described what we could call a "Rebecón" here in Mexico. Very colloquial. It does not appear in the dictionary, but that's one of the ways we call these crazy kids down here.

Hope it helps

Chico corredor


Explanation:
Si se traduce literalmente. También puede tratarse de un chico que participa en una regata. Si se trata de lo que dice Sarah, en españa se llama de manera muy coloquial "Fitipaldi", creo que en alusión al famoso piloto.
