Seven Cycles mountain bike pro Mary McConneloug has officially been named to the U.S. National Team. The nomination came as a result of her 8th place finish at the World Cup cross country event at Mount St. Anne, Canada; she was one of only two Americas to finish in the top ten. Mary will compete for the World Championship in Austria this fall.

In a phone call to Seven Cycles the day following the announcement, Mary said, "I didn�t sleep a wink last night. I was just so excited."

Mary is currently 6th overall in the NORBA National Championship Series. She holds 3rd overall in the NCS Short Track event.
