From 1987-1997, the Essex County meet was not scored. The bylaws of the time required that at least 6 schools needed to be entered in the competition, and that furthermore whenever a boys champion was recognized, a girls champions also needed to be recognized. At the time, many schools had girls and boys on one team, which by rule was considered a boys team. Thus, in most years during this stretch there were fewer than 6 girls teams. Team scoring resumed in 1998.
Medalists Results, as well as a few extra relay results, have been preserved. Full Results have not been saved.
