Pleasanton's 'American Ninja Warrior' Seth Rogers Battling On

PLEASANTON, CA — Foothill High School alumnus Seth Rogers is making the most of his first American Ninja Warrior season. Earlier, he advanced to the City Finals in Los Angeles, where he worked his way to the ninth obstacle, Leaps of Faith. His timing sent him through to his very first National Finals.

Now he's moved on to Stage Two of the event, which airs Sept. 9, 8 p.m., on NBC.

Rogers has been a super fan of the show for years and took up training at just age 13. After watching his heroes take on Stage One, he got the chance to do it himself. He cleared the event with just a couple of small errors that didn’t take up too much time.

As the field of Ninjas gets smaller and smaller for this season, Rogers is one of the few rookies left standing!
