American Ninja Warrior 14[]
She made her ANW debut in the first qualifying episode. Her run was digested, but it was shown that she failed the fifth obstacle, Salmon Roll. She placed 21st in the top 30 and 3rd among the women. She later competed in the third semifinals episode. There, she put up a strong run, being one of only two women that round to get past Clockwork, and one of just two women that season to make it to the back half of the semifinals course. She ultimately failed the eighth obstacle, Box Office, after a bad transition to the first box. She placed 1st among the women and advanced to the national finals as a rookie. Her run at the national finals was digested, but she failed the Giant Rollercoaster, ending her rookie season.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
She returned for her second season in the seventh qualifying round in American Ninja Warrior 16. She was the only woman in that qualifying round to conquer Duck Duck Goose and made it to Jawbreakers failing the jump and placed 1st among the women moving onto the semifinals once again. She later competed in the final semifinal episode where she raced against Ally Tippetts Wootton. The race was digested, but Ally failed on Hopscotch while Karen made it to the Spin Hopper, winning the race and advanced to the national finals once again. Her run at the national finals was also digested, but she got revenge on the Giant Rollercoaster before falling on the following obstacle, the Jumping Spider.
Karen is set to compete in American Ninja Warrior 17.
