This Massachusetts electrician is the top local finisher on 'American Ninja Warrior'
"Six New Englanders and two New England natives made it to the finale, according to the show: Meunier, Matt D'Amico of Billerica (a member of the Boston Celtics Dunk Team), Evan Lavallee of Lancaster, Amir Malik of Essex Junction, Vermont; Christian Hart of Meriden, Connecticut; and Joe Moravsky of Monroe, Connecticut. Plus: Warwick, Rhode Island native Luke Dillon and Connecticut native Jay Lewis, both of whom recently moved to Florida."
"In a nail-biting final showdown, Meunier lost a head-to-head race with Kai Beckstrand, 19 - an EMT from Utah who may be one of the best ninjas to ever ninja. Beckstrand won the $250,000 grand prize. While there's no money for second place, Meunier, who turns 20 on Monday, is fine with just the glory. The all-or-nothing stakes are "part of what makes the show exciting for the fans," Meunier told me in a phone interview Monday."
