SAN DIEGO — College of the Canyons saw both its teams perform well at the Manny Bautista College Open held at Naval Training Center Park on Friday.

The meet, hosted by San Diego Mesa College, provided the Cougars with an early look at the course that will host the 3C2A Southern California Championships next month.

COC's women's team took fifth in the overall standings but was fourth among the 19 California community college programs entered in the race. 

Canyons was once again paced by sophomore Victoria Jamison who placed sixth with a time of 19:02.97. Earlier in the week Jamison, who was run to victory at four meets this season, was named the 5CTCA SoCal Runner of the Week award.
