Carey Pinkowski and Rudy Chapa, of Hammond (Ind.) High School, crossed the finish line together in winning the Indiana state cross-country championship. Their time of 11:59.8 for the 2½-mile course at South Grove Golf Course in Indianapolis broke the meet record of 12:13 set last year by Pinkowski. In two seasons of cross-country and one of track, Pinkowski, a senior, and Chapa, a junior, have lost only to each other, and this cross-country season they broke the course record in every race they ran. Pinkowski has recorded a 4:12 mile, Chapa a 4:11.
