Johnathan Morin is a youth pastor and five-time ANW competitor.
American Ninja Warrior 4[]
In his debut in American Ninja Warrior, Morin competed as a walk on for the midwest region of American Ninja Warrior 4 and he finished with the slowest time in the qualifier, however due to the Soritatsu Kabe's dominance in that region his result was good enough for 12th place. In the Semi-Finals, despite struggling on the Salmon Ladder, Morin managed to finish in 8th place.
In the Vegas finals, Morin slipped on the Jumping Spider like many that day.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
He came back in American Ninja Warrior 5 stronger than ever. He finished the qualifying course, having the slowest time out of a history-breaking 48 finishers in the Denver qualifying round. In the Denver finals, his run was cut but he came up short of his goal and failed on the Floating Stairs. He was exhausted from completing the Salmon Ladder and couldn't get past the downhill section.
Morin would later confirm himself on social media that despite not making the top fifteen, he was indeed invited to the National Finals. Morin claims to have competed as a Wild Card.
At the National Finals Morin managed to get revenge on the Jumping Spider. He would not get to savor this victory, as he'd slip off the Half Pipe Attack one obstacle later.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
He competed in American Ninja Warrior 6, he cleared the qualifying course in Dallas. His time finishing placed him 16th overall.
In the finals, he failed on the Swinging Frames, but it was enough for him to earn a spot in Las Vegas as he placed 13th. Although earning a spot in Vegas, Morin would not attend the National Finals. He withdrew from the competition due to a scheduling issue.
American Ninja Warrior 7[]
He competed in Houston in American Ninja Warrior 7. His qualifying run was cut, but he failed the Swinging Spikes. Because he made it to the obstacle in a slow time, he failed to make the top 30 and move on to the Houston city finals.
Johnathan confirmed in a Facebook post that he received an invitation to compete on American Ninja Warrior 17, alongside multiple other fan-favorite competitors from the history of American Ninja Warrior.[1]
