Former Towson University gymnast Kacy Catanzaro is going to Mt. Midoriyama, Las Vegas, qualifying to the finals in the "American Ninja Warrior" competition. Catanzaro, who was NCAA Southeast Regional Gymnast of the Year, was one of only 8 contestants who completed the American Ninja Warrior qualifying course successfully. The rest of the contestants qualified based on time/course completion. At 5'0", 100 pounds, Catanzaro jumped through the course catching the next obstacle in the course much like a gymnast flying from one bar to the other, at times almost doing the splits.
No obstacle for Catanzaro.
