As a senior, Haberichter was named KCAC Championship Meet MVP, scoring 38 points, bringing home wins in the 5000m, Steeplechase, 1500 and narrowly missing a fourth win in a photo finish in the 800m. He was a three-time KCAC Champion in the Steeplechase and the 5000m. He also qualified for the NAIA National Cross Country Meet as a junior in 1990.

He also served as student body president as a senior. Haberichter enjoyed all this success despite running for four different coaches during his career.
