CCS Student News: Faith Padilla, our American Ninja Warrior!

Submitted by CCS parent, Diane Padilla

American Ninja Warrior (ANW) is a competition where athletes race against the clock to conquer various obstacles. At each qualifying stage, the playing field is whittled down and competitors advance as they complete increasingly grueling obstacle courses. Faith competes in the Wolrld Ninja League (WNL), which is an elite series of ninja competitions that are geared toward the best athletes in the world. Every year athletes from all ages compete around the world at competitions hoping to qualify for the WNL World Championship and/or audition for the TV show American Ninja Warrior or American Ninja Warrior Jr.  Faith began ninja training 2 years ago, joining the team squad last fall.  Faith is part of Windsor Ninja Academy’s Junior Squad.  In her 1st year of competition, Faith is ranked #1 in the Mature Kids Female division, most recently receiving 1st place in the New England Regionals Competition in New York.  Faith has been invited to complete at the WNL World Competition in April in Austin Tx! We are so proud of her.  This competition year, Faith has won seven 1st place, two 2nd place, and two 3rd place.  The Ninja community is like a 2nd family to us and we are so grateful for their friendship and support.  Faith is excited and looking forward to her 1st World Competition with the ultimate goal of being on American Ninja Warrior Jr in a couple of years!
