Monroe High School’s Rich Fortels caught a tough break.
At the Greater Middlesex Conference Championship meet in New Jersey, Fortels was disqualified in the 100-yard backstroke for wearing a swim cap from his club team. The cap did not give him a competitive advantage.
Fortels’ 51.52 in the event would have won by over three seconds. The time also would have been a new meet record. With his disqualification, Michael Sparks of Metuchen won with a time of 54.19.
Monroe filed an appeal on behalf of Fortels. Conference officials, however, upheld the disqualification.
