C-3 Sollay.com, one of the Mid Atlanic’s
strongest cyclocross teams, looks excitedly forward to the 2008 ‘cross
season. The team is lead by returning elite riders Wes Schempf, 2006
Pennsylvania State Champion Andy Wulfkuhle, Beth Mason, Heidi
VonTeitenberg, Diane Grim and Elizabeth
Harlow. Junior sensation Sam O’Keefe, who took 4th at Nationals last
year, will be working for a strong fall season. The team will also
feature Elite Master’s riders Chris Nystrom, Jeff Cordisco, Michael
Kolb and Kris Auer. Auer also serves as the team director.
New to the team for this year will be nationally renowned criterium
specialist Laura Van Gilder. Van Gilder has been a mainstay on the
national road and criterium circuit for years. She is an explosive
sprinter, and aggressive racer. It is these traits that team director
Kris Auer believes will help Van Gilder quickly adapt to this
discipline.

multiple time US Armed Services National Champion. Gallagher finished
3rd in the MABRA elite series and looks for bigger results in 2008.

Champion Elizabeth Harlow, and 2007 MAC/MABRA Killer B champion Erik
Linder.
The team will compete up and down the east coast, racing in the USGPs, The MAC and MABRA
SERIES , and targeting Nationals in December. The Elite cast will be
rounded out be a cast of regional cross racers including Marc and Diane
Vettori, Kat Wulfkuhle, Norman Brach, and Rich Bilson.
