Cornell College

Kulbe, of Lakewood, Colo., was noted as "one of the nation's most dangerous base-stealing threats", according to a local 2000 newspaper clipping. And that was an understatement.
 
Kulbe twice led all of NCAA Division III in stolen bases, claiming season statistical titles in 1998 (41 steals) and 2000 (school-record 44). The speedy center fielder stands No. 9 in Division III history with 143 career steals, a program standard that may never be threatened. Kulbe swiped 46 consecutive bags during one incredible stretch, the fifth-longest streak in Division III.
 
Kulbe produced a hefty .923 lifetime stolen base percentage, converting 143 of 155 attempts. A career .320 hitter, Kulbe ranks No. 2 on Cornell's all-time list for walks (69), No. 3 for runs (116) and No. 12 for hits (140). He was named First Team All-Midwest Conference in 1997 and Second Team All-Iowa Conference in 2000.
 
Kulbe was the conference king of stolen bases all four seasons with the Rams. In 2000, he signed a professional contract with the San Diego Padres Baseball Club.
 
Kulbe also made his mark on the grid iron, compiling 154 career tackles and 21 pass breakups as a defensive back. He was voted Cornell's 1996 Defensive Rookie of the Year and named captain on the 1999 football team. Kulbe was tabbed Cornell's 1997 First-Year Male Athlete of the Year and 2000 Paul Maaske Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
