Hauppauge/Smithtown Girls Swim Team Wins Sixth Straight County Crown
Stony Brook University hosted the Suffolk girls swim championship meet over the weekend, and once again the team representing Hauppauge and Smithtown walked away with the top prize. It is the sixth year running that the program has claimed the county crown, a run that keeps building on itself season after season.
The team opened strong with a relay win that broke its own county record from a year earlier, then kept adding points across individual events and another relay late in the day. Swimmers from other Suffolk programs had big moments too, including a senior from Longwood who posted a faster time than her state meet finish last year despite training through an injury, and a Babylon swimmer who hit a personal best by two seconds in her signature race.
The team now turns its attention to the state championship meet next month at Webster Aquatic Center, chasing both a repeat gold and a faster relay time still.
