Cameron Baumgartner

Cameron "Cam" Baumgartner is a competitor who first competed in ANW 11.

American Ninja Warrior 11
In American Ninja Warrior 11 he competed in Cincinnati. In qualifying, his run was digested but he cleared the course in the 3rd fastest time. However, in the city finals, after an amazing performance of finishing the course entirely, a shock came when he was later disqualified on the Spinning Bridge after touching the support ropes, thus ending his rookie season. He was actually shown when Zuri Hall was introducing Slam Dunk.

American Ninja Warrior 12
Cameron returned to complete in the second qualifying episode. His run was digested, but it was shown that after he had a near fail on the Shrinking Steps, he once again cleared the qualifying course in 5th place. He later competed in the first semifinal episode. There he once again cleared the course and this time without being disqualified. He placed 3rd overall and moved on to the finals. In the finals, he was once again looking strong. On Dragonback he was so close to completing the obstacle, but when he hopped the bar over the dragon's head, he didn't let go of the bar, so the safety cord on the bar pulled him back over the water and was immediately disqualified. He busted his lip when he failed and also didn't move on to the top 8 Power Tower playoff.

American Ninja Warrior 13
Cameron returned for his third season in the final qualifying episode. His run was digested, but he once again cleared the course. He was 4th overall.

He later competed in the final semifinals episode. His run was once again digested, but he managed to clear the semifinal course for the second straight year. Like last year, he placed 3rd meaning that he just missed out on going to the Power Tower but he still advanced to his first national finals.

In Vegas however, he shockingly failed on just the second obstacle Swinging Blades after missing grab from the trampoline jump to the first blade, ending his season. It is worth noting, however, that during the second episode of the National Finals, he was shown to demonstrate/test the Stage Two obstacles; given the shots taken, it is implied he cleared all of them successfully. Despite this, it remains to be seen if this run was under timed conditions.
