American Ninja Warrior 13[]
True competed in the second qualifier round in Tacoma. In the qualifiers, his run was digested but he had a strong run and only fell when it came down to V Formation. Because he got there in a quick pace, it was enough to place 9th at the end of the round. And so, he moved on to the semifinals.
He competed in the second round of qualifiers. During the the semifinals, Becker had no issues working his way through the first half of the course. Compared to so many before him, Becker was one of the few to work his way past the eighth obstacle, Padlock, ensuring his spot in Vegas. Calling his shot to the buzzer with Tufts University Mascot Jumbo the Elephant looking on, Becker finished the semifinal course and hit the buzzer, placing 4th and moving on to the National Finals.
On Stage One, Becker was having a solid run until he fell on the fifth obstacle, Tire Run, ending his season there.

At the end of Stage One, Team USA had the lead with twenty eight points advancing them to Stage Two.
On Stage Two, he was the tenth runner and he was able to beat the course with just over a minute on the clock which gave him the fastest time out of everyone who did so getting ten points which helped advance Team USA to Stage Three.
On Stage Three, True was able to beat the course with a time of 46.49 seconds - the second fastest clear time of the stage at the end of the day, which meant that Becker would qualify for the Final Stage (the Tour des Héro) along with fellow Team USA member Kevin Carbone.
On the Final Stage, True Becker was able to beat the Final Stage with a time of just under thirty seconds. However, it wasn't fast enough to win the competition. Team USA placed in 3rd at the end of the night.
