Chris Butler Wins!

furmanwincnrr508_046.jpgChris Butler started his bicycling dreams right here at The Bike Doctor. Now Hilton Head’s own cycling master has moved on to show his talents for Furman’s team. The DII men’s race was action packed to the finish with Ben Showman of the United States Military Academy attacking solo with around 20-kilometers to go. A chase group including Chris Butler (Furman University), Craig Leukens (Yale University), Zak Grabowski (Colorado School of Mines) and Austin Roach (Princeton University) soon pursued with force. Grabowski hammered it on a descent and the group quickly closed in on Showman who once had a 1:30 gap. The leader was caught in the final kilometers and it was Furman’s Butler winning the sprint to the finish over Leukens of Yale. Grabowski came in only seconds later in third with Showman not far behind.
