Matt Bradley is a college student from Wayne, Pennsylvania who has competed on three seasons of American Ninja Warrior.
American Ninja Warrior 13[]
Matt first competed in the fourth episode of qualifiers, running on his mom's birthday. His run was digested, but he finished the course and placed 5th. In the fourth episode of semifinals, Matt finished the course once more and placed 9th in a digested performance.
In Las Vegas, Matt’s run was shown for the first time that season and he was the second competitor to finish Stage One, leaving 24.52 seconds left. In Stage Two, his run was digested, but he failed the Hammer Drop.
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
Matt returned for his second season in the second qualifying episode. His run was once again digested, but he once again cleared the course, despite missing his first attempt at the regular Warped Wall, he managed to do so with the fastest time during that episode, as well as the fastest time overall. He later competed in the first semifinals episode. His run there was also digested, but despite having the fastest time of all of qualifying, he shockingly failed on just the third obstacle, the Air Surfer (which he cleared the previous season in qualifying) after he tried to link all three of the jumps, and he ended up undershooting the last track, ending his season without a trip back to the national finals.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
Matt returned for his third season in the fourth qualifier. His run was digested, but he once again completed the course with the fastest time and for the second time, got the fastest time in all the rounds of qualifying. Since he cleared in under 1:20, he was also able to attempt the Mega Wall. Unfortunately, he fell just short of completing it.
Matt later competed in the first semifinal episode, racing against Vincent Pane. The race was digested, but Matt easily won the race by clearing the course in 4th place, earning his second trip to the national finals.
His run at the national finals was digested, but it was shown that he surprisingly failed on the Dipping Birds, ending his season (an obstacle which he easily cleared back in ANW13).
He has announced that he will not be competing in American Ninja Warrior 17 due to his mental health.
