Thanks to the lower age limit, he got to complete in his first season in the third qualifiers. His run was digested, but it was shown that he cleared the course in 6th place and moved on to the seminlfinals. He later competed in the first semifinal episode. There he managed to once again clear the course, being the first one do so in that episode. He placed 3rd overall and moved on to the national finals as a rookie. It's worth noting that he cleared just one second slower than Brian Burkhardt, and just missed out on being the youngest competitor to attempt the Power Tower for a chance at the Safety Pass. He was also the only competitor in the episode who chose to do Inverter at Split Decision and also clear it.

In the national finals, his stage 1 run was digested, but it was shown that he finished it. On stage 2, he had a good run, until he couldn’t get his legs on the pendulum on Hammer Drop, ending his rookie season.
