Hi, my name is JioVanni Cochran, and I’m a 13-year-old track athlete from South Jersey. I recently competed at the AAU Region 1 Qualifier in Connecticut, and I’m proud to say I qualified for the 2025 AAU Junior Olympics in Houston, Texas, in four events!

1st – 400m

1st – 200m Hurdles

2nd – 800m

3rd – 100m

I’ll be representing my hometown, my state, and my amazing team, Knight Elite Track Club, for 10 days of competition. I’ve trained hard all year for this moment, and now I have the chance to compete on a national stage against some of the best young athletes in the country.

But my story is bigger than track…

I play Alto Saxophone in the school band

Honor Roll student

✈️ Taking private pilot lessons—his dream is to become a commercial pilot

Varsity football player for Vineland Blitz

‍♂️ School cross country & track athlete

But I need your help to get there.

I’m raising money to cover the costs of travel, lodging, food, and local transportation while I’m in Houston. Any donation, big or small, will help me reach my goal and make this dream come true.

If you can’t donate, please share my story with your friends, family, or community. Every bit of support means a lot.

Thank you for helping me chase my dream and represent South Jersey with pride. I’m ready to put in the work and make you all proud!
