Josh Salinas stepped up to the American Ninja Warrior Dallas City Finals course looking to continue his strong sophomore season. Fans first met Josh in season nine, where he qualified for the National Finals and completed Stage One with the second fastest time, following only Drew Drechsel.
During the Dallas Qualifiers, Josh raced to the buzzer. His time left him in third place overall. Back for the City Finals, Josh would put up another stunning run, making it to the buzzer in under five minutes.

We think Josh had one of the strongest runs through Fall Out. He managed to stop the first disk from spinning around even once.
