Izabella Adkins is a climber from Arizona.
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
She first competed in the fifth qualifier round. Her run was digested, but it was shown that she was one of two women competitors that round to complete the fifth obstacle, Final Frontier. She later failed all three of her attempts on the Warped Wall, missing out on becoming the sixth woman to hit a qualifying buzzer that season. Nonetheless, she placed 18th overall and advanced to the semifinals.
She later competed in the second semifinal episode. There, she completed the first five obstacles, but despite getting advice from Casey Rothschild, she unfortunately once again failed all of her attempts at the Warped Wall. Despite this, she not only placed 1st among the women, since she was one of only fourteen to get past the fifth obstacle, Hopscotch, she also placed 14th overall, advancing her to the national finals.
Her run at the national finals was cut, but it was revealed that she failed the first obstacle, the Slide Surfer.[1] She was focused on attempting the later obstacles on the course, only for her to not watch her step on the first obstacle, ending her rookie season earlier than expected.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
Izabella confirmed receiving the call for American Ninja Warrior 16. However, her run was completely cut. It is rumored that she competed in the second qualifier round and failed Pole Vault, but there has been no official comment on the matter.
