COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS EMBODY SMITHTOWN’S NEWLY FORMED ATHLETIC TRADITION

Smithtown is known for many things, historical splendor, excellent school systems, and…badminton?

Although many residents in the Town of Smithtown would be hard-pressed to explain the rules of this relatively obscure sport, badminton is quietly becoming one of the community’s sources of pride. The Town’s teams are an integral part of badminton at the interscholastic level, as Smithtown East, Smithtown West, and Commack are three of Suffolk County’s eight programs.

 Notably, Smithtown Badminton has cemented itself in immortality. In 2005, Smithtown High School defeated Miller Place High School, ending the Panthers astounding 504 game winning streak, a run which dated back to the program’s inception in 1973. The 22-year undefeated stretch is far and away the longest winning streak in sports history.
