Marshall exercise science student to compete on American Ninja Warrior

For Marshall student Tyler Cravens, it took two years of waiting before he was able to pursue his dreams of becoming the next American Ninja Warrior.

After recovering from a motorcycle accident last year, Cravens, 26, of Chesapeake, Ohio, will compete in the Philadelphia qualifier round of “American Ninja Warrior,” a television show that features an obstacle course race that tests competitors’ strength, agility and climbing ability. The episode airs this Monday, June 27, at 9 p.m. (EDT) on NBC.

Cravens, an exercise science student in the university’s College of Health Professions, said taking exercise science classes and learning about muscle movement helped take his training to the next level. Read more about his experience on ANW here.
