He later competed in the second semifinals round. His run was cut, but it was revealed next season that he was one of seven competitors that round who failed on the Spinning Bridge, ending his rookie season.
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
He returned for his second season in the second qualifying episode. His run was once again digested, but it was shown that he once again cleared the course, this time doing so with the third fastest time that episode.
He later competed in the first semifinals episode. His run there was also digested, but he got revenge on the Spinning Bridge, despite a hard fall. Later at Split Decision, he went back and forth at which obstacle he wanted to took on. He eventually chose to do the Dragonback, which he cleared and then he cleared the semifinals course for the first time. He placed 4th overall, being the slowest out of four finishers that episode, and moved on to the national finals for his first time.
His run at the national finals was cut, but he surprisingly failed the Giant Rollercoaster, ending his second season.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Luke returned in the first qualifying episode. His run was digested, but he tripped on his feet after completing Lasso Launch, but was still able to finish the course with the fastest time and because he finished in less than 1:20, he also got to attempt the Mega Wall. However, he failed to complete it.
In the semifinals, he raced Ramcis Valdez in the second episode. Ramcis had the lead most of the race, but after he fell on Slingshot, Luke was able to come through and hit the semifinals buzzer for the second straight season. Overall he placed 5th and once again advanced to the national finals.
His run on Stage One was digested, but he had a notable Stage One run. After getting revenge on the Giant Rollercoaster, he then lost a lot of time on The Gambler. With time running low, he had to race for the buzzer. Fortunately, he did make it to the buzzer, finishing with only three seconds to spare and getting his first Stage One buzzer.
On Stage Two, as the #18 seed, he went against #7 seed Enzo Wilson. Both of them failed on Epic Air Surfer, but Luke got there slower and lost the race as a result. This was his best season to date.
American Ninja Warrior 17[]
After not being chosen to compete in American Ninja Warrior 16, Luke returned to compete in American Ninja Warrior 17 in the first qualifying episode. His run was digested, but he once again cleared the course, this time so with the fourth fastest time that episode.
He later competed in the first semifinals episode. His run there was also digested, but he cleared the semifinals course for his third straight season, this time doing so with the 3rd fastest time, once again advancing to the national finals.
At the finals, Luke first faced off against Paxton Myler and won the race after Paxton failed the Ring Jump while Luke completed the course. Then, he went up against Caleb Bergstrom in a digested performace, where Luke failed on the Salmon Ladder while Caleb cleared. Lastly, Luke went up against Ashton Myler, where Luke won after Ashton surprisingly failed the Ring Jump while Luke cleared the course. His overall record ended up being 2-1, so he advanced to the top 32 races.
During the sudden death rounds, he had to race against Kaden Lebsack, where Luke failed early on the Swinging Frames, losing the match and ending his season. Meanwhile, Kaden went on to finish the course.
