Madyson "Mady" Howard is an ICU nurse and former gymnast, who first competed on American Ninja Warrior 11.

American Ninja Warrior 11[]

Mady first competed in Seattle-Tacoma for American Ninja Warrior 11. In qualifying, her run was digested, but it showed that she failed the Lightning Bolts. However, she went at a fast pace and placed 3rd in the women's top 5.

In the city finals, she got her revenge on the Lightning Bolts and scaled the Warped Wall on her first try. But although she looked solid on the Floating Monkey Bars, her grip gave out. Even so, her fast pace helped her once again, as she placed 8th overall and second among the women to qualify for Las Vegas in her rookie year.

In Vegas, her run was digested, but it was shown that she failed the Double Dipper, ending her rookie season.

American Ninja Warrior 12[]

Mady competed for her second season in American Ninja Warrior 12. As a team captain, she brought along Kemar Barcoo and Faith Fitzgerald to compete as well. In qualifying, Mady shared her backstory of being on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic as an ICU nurse. She blazed through the course and although she had a slight stumble on the Spinning Bridge, she managed to complete the course and place 1st among the women to qualify for the semifinals. In the semifinals, she once again stumbled on the balance obstacle, this time being Burn Rubber. Unfortunately, this time she was not able to save it and shockingly fell, eliminating her from the competition. She missed out on qualifying by one spot.

American Ninja Warrior: Women's Championship[]

Mady also competed on the Women's Championship which was taped during Season 12. During the first round, her run was digested, but she finished the course with the second fastest time. In the second round, Mady made it all the way to the ninth obstacle, The Dungeon, before falling, but she placed 4th and moved on to the Power Tower. However, she lost to eventual-champion Meagan Martin in the first Power Tower match.

In February 2021, Mady announced on Instagram that she is pregnant and expecting in August, so she did not compete on American Ninja Warrior 13.

American Ninja Warrior 14[]

Mady returned the next season in American Ninja Warrior 14, now with her newborn son Beckham on the sidelines. She ran the course in the fifth episode of qualifying, where it was mentioned that she competed just six months after giving birth. She managed to put a good run through the first four obstacles, but was one of many to fail Final Frontier. Her time to that obstacle placed her 30th overall, and so she advanced to the semifinals.

In the semifinals, she competed in the second episode. While she was able to make it past the first three obstacles, she had a nasty fall on the Spinning Bridge (an obstacle she barely cleared in ANW 12) where she fell off course near the landing pad. However, her performance was still enough to make the womens' top 3, placing 3rd and advancing to the national finals for the second time.

In the nationals, her stage one run was digested, but she failed on the Giant Rollercoaster, once again going out on the third obstacle.

American Ninja Warrior: Women's Championship 3[]

Mady also competed on the third Women's Championship special, taped during American Ninja Warrior 14 National Finals. During the first round, her run was digested, but she got revenge on the Giant Rollercoaster, only to fall on the next obstacle, the Jumping Spider, eliminating her from the competition.

American Ninja Warrior 15[]

Mady returned to compete in American Ninja Warrior 15's second Qualifier. She made it to Ring the Bells, before falling just short of completing the obstacle. She still finished in 2nd place among the women, and advanced to the Semifinals.

During the Semifinals, she raced against Ally Tippetts-Wootton. Both women made it to Slingshot, but Mady got there first, winning the race, and winning a spot in the National Finals.

At the national finals, she got past the third obstacle on stage one for the first time in the regular season, but she failed one obstacle later on the Jumping Spider.
