Jay Lewis

Jay Lewis is a High School student from Connecticut. Before he competed on American Ninja Warrior 13, he was on both American Ninja Warrior Junior 1 for the 13-14 age group where he would reach the semifinals of that competition.

American Ninja Warrior 13
Due to the lowered age limit, he would be invited to take a shot at the course, making his first appearance on Episode 4 of Qualifying. From there, he breezed through the obstacles and despite him not clearing the Mega Wall, Lewis would complete the course placing 10th overall, and moving on to the semifinals.

During the second episode of semifinals, Jay's full run was shown in the middle of the broadcast. He finished the course and at the end of the night, he had maintained the top time thus placing 1st over mentor Joe Moravsky in 2nd; on the Power Tower, however, Joe was much stronger on the early ladder portion using his legs opposed to Jay only using his feet. As a result, he lost and did not get awarded the Safety Pass.

His run in Vegas was digested, but he surprisingly failed the dismount on the Double Dipper, ending his rookie season.

Jay returned for his second season in the second qualifying episode. This time around, his run was digested, but he once again attempted the Mega Wall and once again failed it, but he still once again cleared the course, placing 7th overall.
