Grant Kiningham is an ice sculptor from Houston, TX.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Grant debuted in the third qualifier in American Ninja Warrior 15. Here, he made it to Lasso Launch before falling, and this was good enough to place 6th and advance to the semifinals.
He raced Isaiah Wakeham during the semifinals. Grant was able to finish before Isaiah did and advanced to the national finals in his rookie season.
At the national finals, his run on Stage One was digested, but he got spun around on the roulette wheel on The Gambler, costing him valuable time. He ultimately rushed the last obstacle, Thread the Needle, resulting in him peeling the cane right off the hook. His time didn't land him in the top 24, and his rookie season was over.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
Grant returned for ANW 16 in the first qualifier. His run was once again digested, but it was shown that he completed the qualifying course for the first time, placing 5th overall. Grant raced Dillon Ruble in the Semifinals, where his race was digested, but Dillon fell on Hopscotch, guaranteeing Grant the win and a spot in the National Finals.
Grant was digested once again in the National Finals. His Stage One run was similar to that of last season, where he got stuck at The Gambler once again and ran out of time on Thread the Needle. This time, Grant was able to make it to the second hook of the obstacle before timing out.
Grant is set to compete in American Ninja Warrior 17.
