American Ninja Warrior 10[]
She competed in Philadelphia in American Ninja Warrior 10. Her run was cut, but she failed the first obstacle, the Floating Steps.[1]
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
She competed in Baltimore for her second season on ANW. Her run was once again cut, but she got redemption on the first obstacle. However, she later failed the Dangerous Curves.[2]
American Ninja Warrior 13[]
Megan was one of several who was originally called to compete in Washington D.C. for American Ninja Warrior 12.[3] However, when the pandemic cut the season short, she was one of many who did not make the final cut for the modified season.
After missing ANW 12, she competed in the fifth qualifier round. Her run was once again cut, but she was briefly shown in the episode to have failed the second obstacle Double Down.[4]
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
She competed in the fifth qualifier round. Her run was digested, but at Split Decision, she chose the Despicaballs, which she ended up failing.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
She competed in the third qualifying round. Her run was digested, but similar to season 10 she failed on the very first obstacle, failing the Pole Vault.
American Ninja Warrior: Couples Championship[]
Kyle and his girlfriend, Megan competed in the first ever American Ninja Warrior: Couples Championship. In the first round, Megan was able to get through the first two obstacles before falling on the Air Surfer while Kyle was able to clear his next three obstacles getting five points and guaranteeing themselves a spot in the next round. In the second round, Megan was able to get her revenge on the Air Surfer and they were able to make it to the back half of the course where Megan shockingly failed Ghost Town while Kyle was able to clear the final two obstacles, giving them 9 points placing 1st and moving onto the Power Tower against Jesse Labreck and Chris DiGangi. On the Power Tower, Megan was able to get just ahead of Jesse which helped Kyle stay ahead of Chris which help them finish the Power Tower first and win the title of the first ever couples champion and the $25,000.
American Ninja Warrior: Couples Championship 2[]
As the reigning champions they returned in the American Ninja Warrior: Couples Championship 2. In the first round, they were the final runners in the first round where even though Megan took a lot of extra swings on the Double Twister, her and Kyle were still able to clear the entire course getting six points moving onto Round Two. In the first round, they shockingly lost against Luke Dillion and Avery Glantz, eliminating them early from the competition.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
She competed in the seventh qualifier round. Her run was digested, but she got revenge on the first obstacle, Pole Vault. For the first time, she managed to complete the third obstacle on the qualifier round. She ultimately failed the fourth obstacle, Duck Duck Goose. This was also the first time in her ANW career that she advanced to the semifinals, as she placed 3rd in the Womens' leaderboard overall.
She later competed in the fourth semifinal episode where she raced against Chynna Hart. The race was digested, but they both failed on Wingnuts. Since Megan got to the obstacle faster, she won and advanced to the national finals for the first time in her career.
Her run at the national finals was also digested, but she failed on the second obstacle Barrel Roll, falling on the dismount, ending her best season to date.
American Ninja Warrior 17[]
She competed in the fourth qualifying episode. Her run was digested, but she once again failed on the fourth obstacle, going out on the Spin Cycle. This time around, it wasn't good enough to make the Womens' Top 5, and so her season ended in the qualifiers.
Her and Kyle decided to take American Ninja Warrior 18 off to focus on other aspects in their lives.[5]
