American Ninja Warrior 13
Francisco was originally supposed to compete in Los Angeles for American Ninja Warrior 12, having gotten the call to do so. However, he was unable to do so due to the pandemic postponing the competition. Likely to make up for this, he competed in American Ninja Warrior 13.

He competed in the second episode of qualifying, where his run was all cut, but he failed the fourth obstacle, Tipping Point. This time, however, he went at a faster pace, enough to place 25th overall and advance to the semifinals.

Barajas competed in the third episode of the Semi-Finals, along with his training partners, Jose Gomez and Brian Montagnese. He made it the farthest out of all of them, making it to Padlock before falling. He was able to make it into the top 15, placing 13th.

In the national finals, his stage 1 run was digested, but it was shown that he failed the Double Dipper, ending his sophomore season.
