Alex Romer is a high schooler from Jacksonville, Florida who first competed in American Ninja Warrior 15.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Alex first competed in the last qualifying episode. His run was digested, but he cleared the course in his rookie debut and also with a time that was fast enough to attempted the Mega Wall, which he missed. He placed 2nd overall that round.
Alex raced Matt Kalanz during the Semifinals. The race ended quickly, with Alex & Matt both falling on Flying Shelf Grab. Because Alex got through the previous obstacle first, he earned a spot in the National Finals.
In Stage One, Alex was able to make it to Thread the Needle before timing out on the cargo net. He was able to advance to Stage Two as one of the Top 24. On Stage Two, his race was against Noah Meunier. Alex had the lead coming off of the Swing Surfer (where he made a one fluid move through it) but failed Epic Air Surfer and lost his race, but he was one of the top 4 non winners and got to race again. In his second race he was matched up against Vance Walker. Alex ended up failing Swing Surfer while Vance cleared the course.
