Olberding, a four-year member of the Duhawks baseball team, made an impact from the start and solidified himself in program history as one of the best to play the game. Starting every game from freshman to senior year, Olberding is the program leader in career hits with 218, sits second in career doubles with 41, and is fifth in career home runs with 14. He scored 120 runs, ranking fourth in program history, and earned three IIAC All-Conference honors. In 2009, he was named the league's Most Valuable Player and an American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings Second-Team All-Region honoree. As a senior, Olberding helped lead the Duhawks to the IIAC Championship for the first time in 50 years under the guide of head coach Carl Tebon. A three-time All-Academic award winner, Olberding graduated with his degree in biological research and works as an optometrist in Manchester, Iowa.
