Members of the Cross Country and Track and Field teams participated in the 2019 MLK Day of Service and Leadership at Sobrante Park in Oakland on January 21.
The event was co- sponsored by the Gamma Phi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Higher Grounds. Director of Cross County and Track and Field Jamal Cooks is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha.
“As a coaching staff, we value working at the MLK Day of Service because it allows our student-athletes to meet people from different part of our wonderful city and contribute to the greater good of Oakland. In addition, they learn more about one another and increase their teamwork with one another,” Cooks said.
