He attempted to make a long lache, but failed. Todd's time to the Floating Monkey Bars was enough to place 15th and move onto the national finals again.
His run on Stage One was cut but it was revealed that he failed the Jumping Spider again. His full run was shown on ANWNation.

American Ninja Warrior 13[]
Todd was originally slated to compete in Washington D.C. in ANW 12. However, due to the pandemic altering the season, he did not participate that year. Likely to make up for this, he was able to compete in ANW 13.
He competed in the third episode of qualifying, where his run was all cut, but it was shown on the leaderboard that he placed 24th after failing Pretzel Twist, advancing to the semifinals. This is the first time Todd advanced to the semifinals in an odd-numbered season, as he was eliminated in qualifying in seasons 5, 7, 9, and 11.
Todd competed in the third Semi-Final round. His run was completely cut, but he failed the Drop Zone and did not move on to the National Finals. This is the first time his season ended in a semifinals round, as in the previous tournaments, Todd's seasons ended on either a qualifier or Stage One.
