How did Idaho’s ‘Cowboy Ninja’ do in the ‘American Ninja Warrior’ finale?
Idaho’s Cowboy Ninja Lance Pekus started out strong on the finale of “American Ninja Warrior” on Monday, was knocked out of the finals competition on “wing nut alley.”
Pekus was an audience favorite throughout the season, as he competed for his wife Heather, who struggles with multiple sclerosis, and their son, who watched on Skype, and Pekus breezed the first few obstacles on Stage 2 before plummeting into the pool.
The Monday night broadcast from Las Vegas aired his second time appearing on Stage 2.
The Cowboy Ninja will sign autographs and pose for pictures on Sept. 21 at an event at St. Luke’s FitOne at the Boise Centre.
