Chris Berkley, President of the SUNY Oneonta Mountain Biking Club,
prepared the grant application based on information he received from the
club’s advisor, Physical Education Department chair
Al Sosa. Berkley, a
Communications Studies major with minors in Spanish and Public Relations,
was notified recently that the club had received one of only 10 grants
awarded.
The club plans to use the funds to work on the trail in Oneonta, which is
currently between 1 mile and 1.5 miles long and is used by many community
members, including bikers, hikers, walkers, and runners. The grant funds
will be used to purchase tools and materials to continue developing the
trail.
