Jenny Ciochetti attended Strathcona High School in Edmonton where she competed on the Track & Field team in 2000- 2002. Not only did Jenny attend Track & Field Provincials all three years with the team, she medaled each year. In 2000 and 2001 Jenny was part of the Gold Medal 4 x 100 m Relay teams, and in 2002 she branched out and won the Gold Medal in the Senior Girls 100 m sprint.
Her post-secondary career led her to the University of Hawaii and the University of Alberta where she continued to compete in athletics. Jenny won gold in the 4x200m relay at Canada West and CIS Championships in 2006 and finished sixth in the 60m sprint at the 2006 CIS Championships. After a bobsleigh coach noticed her size, her track coach encouraged her to try the new sport and soon her bobsleigh career began.
Jenny was recruited to the Canadian bobsleigh team in the summer of 2006 and made her World Cup debut in December of that year as a brakeman for pilot Helen Upperton. In the following season, Jenny decided to become a pilot after taking driver’s school and spent the 2012-13 season competing on America’s Cup development circuit before moving to the Europa Cup circuit the same year. As a pilot she made her first two World Cup starts before taking a step back to be the brakeman for Kaillie Humphries at the final World Cup of season as well as at the 2012 World Championships. Jenny and Kaillie won gold at both events with Jenny being credited as one of the best pushers in the country.
In 2012-13 Ciochetti returned to the World Cup circuit as the pilot of Canada’s second sled. The year was highlighted by a sixth place finish on the 2014 Olympic track at the Sanki Sliding Centre and an 18th finish in her world championship debut as a pilot.
Jenny continued on the Canadian Women’s Bobsleigh team where she puts her sprinting skills and pure leg power to work in her Olympic Debut. As pilot of the two women bobsled at the Sochi 2014 Olympics, Jenny and teammate, Chelsea Valois, finished 13th.
