One of Cornell's most versatile offensive players, Oliaro holds the single-game rushing record (288 yards) and the single-game all-purpose yardage record (395 yards), ranks seventh all-time in career touchdowns, eighth all-time in career all-purpose yards and 10th all-time in career rushing yards. He is one of only seven Cornell players to record a 200+-yard game and is tied with multiple players in most consecutive games in a season (10) with a reception. He led the team in receptions in 1989 and 1990, points in 1990 and 1992, and rushing yards in 1992. He was one of only two players to be named captain for two years. Oliaro was named to the All-Ivy second team in 1990 and 1992, received the Pop Warner Most Valuable Player Award in 1992, the Charles Colucci Award in 1990, and the Doc Kavanagh Training Room Athlete Award in 1992. He participated in the victorious Ivy Epson Bowl in Japan in 1992, where he scored a touchdown. Oliaro was named one of the top 50 athletes in Vermont sports history by Sports Illustrated.
