In the semifinals, competitors had to race an elite ninja. Beth raced against Barclay Stockett. By the fifth obstacle, Pole Grasper, Barclay had caught up and was neck and neck with Beth, but Barclay managed to overtake and dismounted first. A stumble on the Warped Wall caused Barclay to miss, and Beth managed to catch the top of the wall and climb up to hit the buzzer and win the race. This was the fastest semifinal race of the females and put her through to the finals in first place.
In the finals, Beth raced Immy Hales, who qualified in 2nd place. Both Beth and Immy completed the course, with Beth hitting the buzzer first. Alix Ardnt was the only other female competitor to hit the buzzer, but Beth and Immy had the two fastest times, qualifying them both for the Rope Climb.
