Selena Laniel is a firefighter and single mother of two daughters from San Diego, California.

American Ninja Warrior[]

American Ninja Warrior 4[]

She first competed in American Ninja Warrior 4. She was one of only a few women to reach the Jump Hang in Southwest Qualifying. Unfortunately, she failed there due to not being able to jump far enough.

Her performance did earn her a wildcard spot in the Vegas national finals though. In Vegas, she performed the best out of all the female competitors there, becoming the only woman to clear the Rolling Maruta. She nearly stuck the landing on the Jumping Spider, but lost it and fell into the water. She then became one of the top female athletes in American Ninja Warrior as well as earning the unofficial title of Last Woman Standing for this season.

American Ninja Warrior 6[]

Laniel did not compete in American Ninja Warrior 5 due to her firefighter training. However, she returned one season later for American Ninja Warrior 6. Everyone had high hopes for her, and she was able to get through the first three obstacles, having a bit of fun in the process. Unfortunately, she was one of many women to fail at the Jumping Bars Into Cargo. She did not receive a wildcard spot this time around, and thus her season was over in qualifying.

American Ninja Warrior 7[]

In American Ninja Warrior 7, she competed in Venice Beach for her third season. Her run was fast-forwarded, but she adopted an interesting technique on the Mini Silk Slider. While most competitors jumped to the rope, she reached out with her feet. Unfortunately, it did not work out, and her strength gave out, becoming one of dozens to fail that brutal obstacle that round.

American Ninja Warrior 9[]

In American Ninja Warrior 9, Selena competed in the Los Angeles qualifiers. Although her run was cut, it was revealed she failed the fourth obstacle, Block Run.[1]

American Ninja Warrior 10[]

In American Ninja Warrior 10, she competed in Los Angeles once again. She had a great run, making it to the Doorknob Drop before falling on it. This was the best performance of her career and she made the women's top 5.

In the city finals, she failed the Jumper Cables and did not advance to the national finals.

American Ninja Warrior 11[]

She competed in Los Angeles again. Her run was cut, but it was revealed that she didn't even make it past the first obstacle, wiping out early on the new Shrinking Steps.[2]

American Ninja Warrior 17[]

Selena competed in American Ninja Warrior 17, after a six year hiatus. However, her run was once again all cut and she did not make the cut for the semifinals. It is known that she competed in the first qualifier round and failed the Log Grip.[3]

Other Appearances[]

Laniel competed in Team Ninja Warrior, a member of Towers of Power, with Brandon Mears and Dan Polizzi, but she was replaced with Traci Dinwiddie, due to an injury she had during one of the rounds.
