Charlton County High School track and field standout Kiara Green is ITG Next’s April 2025 Georgia Female Athlete of the Month.
Green has participated in multiple sports throughout her high school career, including softball and cheerleading. She has also competed in gymnastics.
Green has participated in track and field since the sixth grade, and it’s the sport she has truly excelled in. Her main events are the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, 4×100-meter relay, and 4×200-meter relay.
So far this season, Green has broken her personal best time in the 100. Her previous best time was 11.98 seconds, but this year she exceeded that with a time of 11.91.
She also recently beat her personal best time in the 200. Her previous time was 25.10, and her new personal best time is 25.00.
Green holds the fastest time in both the 100 and 200 in the state in Class 1A-Division II and will have an opportunity to run even faster times. At the time of writing, Green is headed to Albany, Georgia, to compete in the GHSA Class 1A-Division II Track and Field State Championships. She will be competing in the 100, 200, and 4×200 relay.
Green will be attempting to repeat her performance in last year’s state championships, when she was able to battle through obstacles that had prevented her from winning a state championship in previous seasons and overcome an injury to lead the Charlton County girls track team to its first ever state championship.
“Despite Kiara qualifying for the state competition on multiple occasions, there were unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or personal loss, that prevented her from participating,” said Brittany Green, who is Kiara Green’s mother.
It looked as if Lady Luck was going to rise up against Kiara Green once again when on the first day of state competition last year Green felt a sharp pain in her foot, but she did not let the discomfort get in the way of competing for a state championship. Green went out and won first place in every event to qualify for state.
The pain in her foot got worse. Green, however, would not be denied. With her team trailing by 19 points in the state championship, she reached down deep and won her last two races of the day to give her team 20 points, winning the state championship by 1 point.
Immediately following the event, Green went to the hospital, where it was determined that she had sustained a stress fracture.
Green has made her way back and is healthy once again
“Sports have been an integral part of Kiara’s life, shaping her character and instilling in her the values of discipline and perseverance,” Brittany Green said about her daughter.
Kiara Green has also achieved greatness away from sports. She was honored as the 2025 Homecoming Queen at Charlton County High School and served as the Junior Class President.
Green has maintained a 3.7 GPA and has been accepted at LSU and Alabama for her academic achievements, but she is hoping to secure a track scholarship so that she can continue to participate in track after high school.
Congratulations to Charlton County track and field athlete Kiara Green, ITG Next’s April 2025 Georgia Female Athlete of the Month.
