For over 100 years, there has been a tradition of athletic excellence at The Stony Brook School.
Blue and White teams have won over 200 championships at the league, Suffolk County, Long Island, and New York State levels. Hundreds of individuals have won championships from the league to national levels and garnered accolades from All-League to All-American.
But those are just numbers. Our athletic tradition goes far beyond cases full of trophies and a list of accomplishments, as important as those are.
For a century, Stony Brook athletes have distinguished themselves by being excellent on and off the playing field as true student-athletes. They have found that difficult to balance playing the game fiercely and honorably. They have displayed the highest qualities of courage, sportsmanship, sacrifice, perseverance, and character.
