American Ninja Warrior 9
Dalton first competed alongside his brother in Denver in American Ninja Warrior 9, at the eligible age of 21. Dalton’s run in qualifying was cut but it was revealed that he failed the Rail Runner, placing 29th and advancing to the city finals.

Dalton got his revenge on the Rail Runner in the city finals, but later failed the Salmon Ladder, not making it to the national finals. Dalton ultimately placed 20th overall.

American Ninja Warrior 10
Dalton and his brother Drew returned in Minneapolis in American Ninja Warrior 10. Though both of their runs were digested, Dalton managed to finally hit his first buzzer, finishing the qualifying course and placing 13th overall. For once, his brother Drew did not finish the qualifying course entirely.

Dalton's city finals run was also digested, but he managed to get revenge on the Salmon Ladder, but failed one obstacle later on The Hinge, on the final transition. He unfortunately once again didn't make it to the national finals as he placed 19th overall.

Dalton did not get a call from season 11
