Andrew Lowes is a gymnast from Fort Wayne, Indiana who has competed in American Ninja Warrior 4 and 5. In American Ninja Warrior 4, he completed the Midwest Qualifying Course, but in the Midwest Finals, failed on the 8th obstacle, the Lamp Grasper. However, his performance was still good enough to make the top 15 and make it to Las Vegas. There, Lowes completed the first 6 obstacles, but failed at the Spin Bridge. So what did he do? He started training by running over many different spinning objects back in Fort Wayne.
In American Ninja Warrior 5, he completed the Baltimore Qualifying Course and Finals Course to advance to Mt. Midoriyama for the second time. In Las Vegas, he got revenge on the Spin Bridge, but he timed out on the top of the Rope Ladder pressing the button 3/10 of a second too late.
