The state's returning Gatorade Softball Player of the Year, the 5-foot-5 senior right-handed pitcher had led the Skippers to a 16-2 record at the time of her selection. Oliver posted a 14-1 mark in the circle with a 0.16 earned run average and 181 strikeouts in 85 innings pitched through 18 games. She had surrendered just 27 hits and walked 19 en route to four no-hitters, including two perfect games. At the plate, the three-time First Team All-State selection owned a .509 batting average with six doubles, four triples, five home runs, 29 RBI and a 1.036 slugging percentage.
Oliver has maintained a 3.27 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to play softball on scholarship at the University of Massachusetts beginning this fall.
Oliver has volunteered locally as a youth softball coach and as part of multiple community-service initiatives through her church. "Kiara is an excellent hitter, but she is totally dominant in the circle," said Paul Kennedy, head coach of Pilgrim High. "She controls the game unlike anyone else currently can."
