This Date in History: 504-Game Miller Place Badminton Streak Falls
Record 504-game winning streak broken by Smithtown in 2005.
April 12 is a day that lives in infamy in Miller Place as it was on this day eight years ago that their 504-game badminton winning streak came to a halt.
The streak was featured in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest sports winning streak in U.S. history. It began in 1973 and did not end until the team was defeated in a match by Smithtown High School, 10-5, in 2005. During the 32-year undefeated streak they won 35 consecutive county championships as well.
