The 200 Freestyle Relay was added to the meet in 1991, placed between the 500 Freestyle and the 100 Backstroke, increasing the total number of events from 10 to 11.
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.
