PASADENA — College of the Canyons competed at the annual Pasadena City College Relays on Friday in another non-conference meet.

Canyons put forth a men's and women's 4x100 relay team and men's 4x400 relay team, all producing personal bests on the season.

The women's team consisting of Rebekah Brooks, Brittany Kurfurst, Sabine Yalung, and Lauryn Bailey took first (53.20) over the team fielded by host Pasadena. Coincidently, all four members of the relay squad also played together on the college's conference champion women's soccer team last fall.

Cook and Sampson were also active for the Cougars in individual events. Both turned in a personal best time of 11.08 in the 100m. They then placed 12th and 13th, respectively, in the field of 41. Cook also produced a personal best in the 200m (22.35) taking eighth out of 37. 

Christopher and Jenkins took part in the 400m placing third (49.87) and fourth (52.76).

Felix Brietbach also placed fourth in the 800m (2:06.85).

On the women's side, Milca Osorio took first the 3000m (11.23.73) and third in the 1500m (5:05.18). She was followed by Sarah Zamudio (6:01.23) in seventh. Zumadio also took third in the 3000m (13:41.13). 

Simone Barries produced a personal best in the 100h taking fourth (17.84) in the heat of five.  

Brooks claimed third in the 400m (1:01.88) with Bailey was seventh (1:09.43). A time of 13.90 placed Kurfurst 10th out of 21 in the 100m (13.9).
