Making History

Jessie is a fierce competitor and known for her incredible athletic achievements on American Ninja Warrior. On Monday August 29th, 2016 she made American Ninja Warrior History. She is now the first woman to ever complete Stage 1 obstacle course in the finals. How hard is this obstacle course? the answer is incredibly hard. The course introduced multiple obstacles very different from anything the competitors have seen before with a time to complete of 2 mins 20 seconds. This course was able to take out a lot of veteran male Ninja Warriors within the first couple of obstacles making her accomplishment that much greater. Overall only 8 out of 45 competitors were able to finish the course within time. Jessie hit the buzzer with 12.39 seconds left and placed 4th overall. Here is the amazing full run:
