“Pennsauken Proud” couldn’t be more appropriate when it comes to two amazing student-athletes from Pennsauken High School. Senior Jada Pichardo and Junior Sianni Wynn have had championship seasons like no other; and their accomplishments are truly ones for the history books.
Wrestling champ Jada Pichardo had the top rank in New Jersey for her entire senior year and was 23rd in the nation. In state competitions this year, she had an undefeated season with a perfect record of 32-0. Jada also made history for Pennsauken High School, not only as the first girl to record 100 career wins in wrestling, but also as the first wrestler in Pennsauken’s history to win a State Championship, which she accomplished this year. And in addition to competing in New Jersey, Jada has wrestled internationally for the Dominican Republic, showcasing her skills and commitment to the sport on a global stage.
Track star Sianni Wynn is the first female in New Jersey history to win six Meet of Champions titles in indoor track and field. She holds all-time state records in the 55m, 60m, and indoor 200 meters, earning an impressive 11 individual state titles and nine Meet of Champions titles. And among her Meet of Champions victories, Sianni has claimed first place titles in the 55m indoor (2023, 2024, and 2025), 200m indoor (2023, 2024, and 2025), 400m outdoor (2023), and 100m outdoor (2024).
Both girls have impressive performances in the classroom with 3.8 GPAs, showcasing academic excellence.
Jada and Sianni were recognized with a plaque presentation during the March 18 Board of Education meeting at Pennsauken High School, as well as proclamations read by Mayor Nicole Roberts and Deputy Mayor Jessica Rafeh at the March 20 Township Committee meeting.
“I’m very grateful to the Pennsauken community,” said Sianni, who was appreciative of the support she has received as she sets her sights on bigger accomplishments. “I love what Pennsauken does for me. I know everyone is behind me, helping me succeed.”
Pichardo spoke of the importance of both her and Sianni paving the way for those who come after them.
“We’re people that can be motivation and a foundation for young girls coming through Pennsauken, South Jersey, New Jersey, and nationally,” said Pichardo. “I’m grateful to be someone people can look up to.”
