There’s a new ninja in town, and she’s only a junior in high school.

Sydney Yee, A.K.A. “The Sly Ninja,” has been practicing climbing, swinging, and jumping for years now, documenting her journey on her social media. She practices at Movement Lab in Worthington, which is even owned by former American Ninja Warrior competitors.

The Olentangy Liberty High School teenager made it through American Ninja Warrior try-outs last year, as just a 15-year-old (the minimum age requirement), and the episode aired on Monday night.
