Monica Van Haute graduated from college and ended up becoming team manger of PUCH Women's Cycling Team purely by being in the right place at the right time. Monica says it was a labor of love. She would drive around the country to races, prepare food for the racers, and handle all the logistics. Riding on the team ranged from Connie Carpenter-Phinney, Inga Thompson to Sue Novara-Reber. PUCH eventually went away and Levi-Raleigh was formed and picked up the tab. During the 1984 Olympics Monica was a presence good friend Connie could rely on. Eventually she would work with the 7-Eleven team as a soigneur. She worked the 1989 Tour de France where Lemond beat Fignon by 9 seconds. Monica says there was great support from the riders considering it wasn't common to have a woman soigneur. She left cycling in 1989 to start a family and go back to school to become a physical therapist.  Monica says she had a wonderful time and she's made life long friends.
