Vinny Mercogliano back again with some results from today’s action. Well, it’s actually mostly scores that came in late from Wednesday’s Dual Meet Championships which didn’t make the paper, but they are new nonetheless. At the bottom of this post after all of the results, I’ll outline the matchups heading into the Elite 8 on Tuesday. I’m still waiting to hear where they are each going to take place, but I’ll give you what I know for now and update the rest tomorrow.

One more quick thing I wanted to touch on. I appreciate all of the feedback from the Power Rankings, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that they do not include any Dutchess County schools. Our coverage area only spans Westchester, Rockland and Putnam, so we won’t be including any programs that aren’t from one of those three counties. I saw some comments about Arlington and Pawling, who may very well be deserving, but I wanted to clarify that we will not be commenting on those schools unless they are matching up against a local team.

Here’s the scores:
