Siddhangi Wickramasinghe, a Sanford H. Calhoun High School sophomore, was named the Nassau County girls’ individual badminton champion. 

Wickramasinghe defeated Sandra Chen of Jericho at the finals on May 10 in Plainview, an opponent she’s faced in previous years. 

Wickramasinghe earned All-County for the fourth year with her 14-0 record this season. 

“Sid is resilient and a very hard worker on the court and as a student,” noted Coach Keri Cinelli, who is also a health teacher. “She puts her team as highly important as her personal goals.” 

While the team’s record was 5-9, Cinelli added that the matches were ‘quite close’ this season.  

“Our goal is to earn a playoff spot next season,” she added.
