It’s that time of the school year.

The Southwestern boys and girls dominated the Section VI Class C Track & Field Championships on Saturday, leaving their very own Fran Sirianni Athletic Complex with a pair of team titles.

And, yes, Angelina Napoleon of Allegany-Limestone performed like she always does — in spectacular fashion.

More on that later.

First, the Trojans, who are coached by Jay Sirianni (boys) and Adam Frisbee (girls), scored 189 points and 161 points respectively to win by wide margins over second-place Allegany-Limestone.

Southwestern’s Emma Lewis leads the field in the 400-meter hurdles.

Individually, it was equally as dominating for the student-athletes from the Hunt Road campus.

Michael Butterfield (200 meters, 400 meters), Nate Lewis (3,200 meters and 3,000-meter steeplechase) and Declan Kennedy (110-meter high hurdles and 400-meter hurdles) were all double individual winners for the boys. Tack on victories by Trey Faulk in the 1,600 meters, Matt Pannes in the pole vault, the quartet of Kennedy, Matthew Burlingame, Jacob Johnson and Butterfield in the 1,600-meter relay, and the quartet of Faulk, Johnson, Lukas Svenson and Donavin Brown in the 3,200-meter relay and it was Southwestern in a runaway.

For the girls, Alexis Grijalva doubled in the 200 meters and the 400 meters; Emma Lewis claimed wins in the 1,500 meters and the 400-meter hurdles; M’Kenzie Zavala won the 100-meter hurdles; the quartet of Grijalva, Marlana Cresanti, Joslyn Brown and Avery Johnson captured the 400-meter relay; and the quartet of Cresanti, Johnson, Grijalva and Tryniti Card crossed the finish line first in the 1,600-meter relay.

And then there was Napoleon.

The senior sensation won four events — the 800 meters, the 3,000 meters, the high jump and the 2,000-meter steeplechase. Her time in the latter event was 6:19.75, which set a new national high school record.
