Pletcher To Compete On American Ninja Warrior On NBC Monday

BOULDER – Former NCAA Nordic ski champion Reid Pletcher, who helped Colorado to the 2011 NCAA team title, will compete on NBC’s American Ninja Warrior, which debuted Wednesday night.

Pletcher will appear on the June 20 episode that took place in Oklahoma City. He is one of 400 applicants selected to the show that had more than 3,000 hopefuls submit applications.

“I can’t tell you exactly what’s going to happen,” Pletcher said. “But I can definitely say that it will be worth watching, for better or worse.”

Should Pletcher advance past the June 20 qualifier, he would advance into the Oklahoma City finals competition, which will air in mid-July.
