The team was originally known as Team Midoryama in Season 1 and Ian Dory was captaining the team. The team made it's debut in Episode 2 where they first went up against the Towers Of Power:
- Dan Yager lost the first race to Dan Polizzi,

- Dan Yager fell on Bungee Road and lost the first race against Sean Noble,
- Meagan Martin won the second race against Rachel Mulvaney,
- Ian Dory then won the anchor run against David Campbell who fell on the Dancing Stones. This guaranteed Team Midoryama a spot in the relay showdown.
In the relay showdown they would face off against the Towers of Power, Ian put Dan Yager on the first leg of the course and with his speed, Dan Yager built up a strong lead against Traci Dinwiddie who was the Towers of Power alternate for the injured Selena Laniel. Yager then tagged up Megan Martin who cleared the Dancing Stones and Bungee Road before Dinwiddie tagged up Dan Polizzi, Meagan then scaled the Warped Wall and tagged up Ian Dory. Polizzi was close behind, he scaled the wall and tagged up Brandon Mears. Ultimately, Ian was able to hold off Mears and hit the buzzer first sending Team Midoryama to the finals.
