Rudy Chapa Biography

Rudy Chapa is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on November 7, 1957 in Hammond, Indiana, United States.

While attending Hammond High School in Hammond, Indiana, Rudy Chapa won the cross-country state championship twice in a row. The first time was in 1974, tying for 1st place in a time of 11:59.8 (2.5 miles) with fellow schoolmate Carey Pinkowski. The second came in 1975 with a time of 11:46.3 (2.5 miles). It was during his high school years that he formed part of a trio of runners from his school that all broke 9:00 minutes in the two-mile run, which he, Carey Pinkowski, and Tim Keough did in 1975. This feat has only been repeated by the boys of Northport high school of New York where 3 boys each broke 9 minutes for the 2-mile run in the same race at the New Balance outdoor national meet, although 2 of its 3 runners were twin brothers. In 1976, Chapa first gained fame as one of the U.S.A.’s great high school distance runners, setting the still-standing national high school record in the 10,000 meters, in 28:32. That same year he also won the Indiana state mile in 4:04.20, a time that held the state meet record until 2011, when it was broken by Center Grove’s Austin Mudd in a competitive race with Carmel High School’s Chris Walden and Carroll High School’s Jonathan Harper.

After high school graduation he went out west to run for Bill Dellinger’s famous University of Oregon track and field team at Hayward Field. He went on to earn All American status six times in cross country and track and was a member of Oregon’s 1977 national champion cross country team. In 1978 he won the NCAA championship in 5,000 meters while running in front of his home crowd in Oregon. The next year he broke the American Record (AR) in the 3,000 meters at Hayward Field as well, running a time of 7:37.7 to break Steve Prefontaine’s AR by five seconds. On May 28, 1981, Chapa joined the sub 4:00-mile club when he ran a 3:57.04-mile in Eugene. While at Oregon he became friends with future marathon world record holder, Alberto Salazar, another Hispanic American distance runner.
