Casey Suchocki

Casey Suchocki is an engineering student from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who's motivation to compete on ANW came from his grandfather. He is also known for his nickname, The Bama Ninja.

American Ninja Warrior 8
Casey first competed as a walk-on in American Ninja Warrior 8 where he finished the Atlanta qualifying course placing 12th. In the city finals, Casey put up a strong performance, making it all the way to the ninth obstacle, The Clacker before failing. He placed 5th overall and advanced to his first national finals as a rookie.

On Stage 1, he failed the Jumping Spider when he didn't get a good landing during dismount, fell backwards into the water, and severely sprained his ankle.

American Ninja Warrior 9
Casey returned to compete in Daytona in American Ninja Warrior 9, and even though he fell on the Wingnuts in qualifying, he proposed to his girlfriend Ashley, who accepted.

American Ninja Warrior 10
Now married to his girlfriend Ashley, he returned to compete in Miami in American Ninja Warrior 10, and although his qualifying was completely cut from the broadcast, he was one of many who failed the Slippery Summit, but he was still fast enough to make the top 30, placing 18th.

His city finals run was placed in the corner during one of the commercial breaks. He was shown to be one of many who failed the Crazy Clocks, but his time was fast enough to make it to the national finals for the second time in his career as he placed 7th overall.

In Stage 1, Casey defeated his nemesis, the Jumping Spider, and cleared with 4.49 seconds left. His run on Stage 2 was digested but it was shown that he failed Deja Vu. Just like the Wingnuts last season, his season ended on yet another obstacle designed by Kevin Carbone.

American Ninja Warrior 11
He returned to compete in Atlanta in American Ninja Warrior 11. His qualifying ran was completely cut from the broadcast, but it was shown in full on the facebook page of ANWNation. He managed to clear the course in 11th place, even after he injured his knee on the Bouncing Spider.

His run was digested in the city finals, but he failed Up for Grabs. His pace placed him 13th overall, but because Drew Drechsel (whom received the Speed Pass already in Atlanta qualifying) also landed in the top 12, he was able to advance to the national finals again, barely making the leaderboard.

In Vegas, he got hung up on Spin Your Wheels, and had to hurry but he did hit the buzzer for the second year in a row. Suchocki started off Stage 2 beating Snapback which replaced Deja Vu. Suchoki was successful in finishing Stage 2 and got to the Ultimate Cliffhanger before splashing down in the water.

American Ninja Warrior 12
In the scaled down ANW 12, Suchocki competed in the first episode. He was able to make it to the Slingshot before failing, which didn't get him into the semifinals that season.

Oddly enough, his time should have been fast enough to make it to the top 12, as Taylor Johnson (who placed 12th in that episode) had a slower time than him overall. However, it was confirmed that due to editing Drew Drechsel out of the tournament, results had to be rearranged and Johnson's result was placed in place of Drew's. Since Taylor Johnson would've made the women's top 3 regardless, Suchocki would not have qualified anyway, as he would've still came up short of the top 12 even if the leaderboard was unchanged with Drechsel in it.

American Ninja Warrior 13
Suchocki returned to ANW 13, once again competing in the first qualifying episode. His run was completely cut, but it was revealed that he shockingly failed on just the second obstacle Overpass, and his season was over.

Trivia

 * Ironically, Casey has fallen three out of four obstacles designed by Kevin Carbone so far. He fell on the Wingnuts and Deja Vu in seasons 9 and 10 respectively, and later fell on the Slingshot in season 12 (though it was not on the season when Carbone submitted it). The only one so far he has not failed is Ring Chaser in ANW 12, which he ironically completed.
