Ronald Washington

Ronald Washington is a parks and wildlife officer and three time ANW competitor. He first competed on season 8 of ANW in Atlanta.

He was given the nickname "Dynomite" in high school when, as a high school wrestler, he would slam opponents down with direct and powerful force.

American Ninja Warrior 8
He made his debut in Atlanta on American Ninja Warrior 8. While he was able to make work of the first three obstacles, he felt uncomfortable with the Spin Cycle, having trouble generating momentum between transfer. He ultimately tagged the water on the dismount, when he couldn't generate enough momentum on the last cycle from the landing platform.

American Ninja Warrior 9
He returned in American Ninja Warrior 9 in Daytona Beach. His run was cut, but he was one of 25 to fail the second obstacle, the Rolling Pin.

American Ninja Warrior 11
He returned in Atlanta for his third year competing. His run was cut, but he failed the Ferris Wheel. However, for the first time, he managed to move on to the city finals, as he placed 24th.

In qualifying, he was shown briefly at the end of the broadcast, where he was given the #3 Akbar Gbaja-Biamila Moment. On his run, it was shown that he slammed with such force on the Ferris Wheel that it caused a brief power outage.

During the city finals, he failed Up for Grabs. However, he placed 11th overall, and for the first time, qualified for the national finals.

On stage 1, he spun out on Tire Run, when the wheel turned clockwise and his momentum slipped under.
