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 for 1996 have been saved, but full results have not.
The names of the winning Girls 400 Freestyle Relay from Millburn are missing; please contact the Meet Director if you have this information.
