Jesse Labreck is a professional ninja athlete and American Ninja Warrior national finalist. Her best-known milestone came in Season 9, when she became the first rookie woman to qualify for the national finals, according to her representative, Ninja Coalition. Her career also connects competition with teaching and youth coaching.
Who is Jesse Labreck on American Ninja Warrior?
Ninja Coalition describes Labreck as a professional ninja athlete and national finalist. Its biography says she made the national finals in her rookie year and identifies her Season 9 qualification as the first by a rookie woman. This is a qualification milestone; it should not be mistaken for a claim that she won the competition.
The biography also describes her as having an elementary-education background and says she trains, competes, and teaches. A 2017 Portland Press Herald report identifies her as a Waterville-area native and discusses her gym-management and athletic background, providing regional context without establishing a complete education or competition record.
What are Labreck’s documented competition highlights?
Season 9 rookie qualification
Ninja Coalition’s biography names Labreck’s Season 9 qualification for the national finals as a landmark: it describes her as the first rookie woman to reach that stage. The claim is attributed to her representative, rather than presented as a complete season-by-season record.
#1 Best Overall
City Finals finish in Cincinnati
A listing for the American Ninja Warrior Podcast, dated August 20, 2019, describes the Cincinnati City Finals as the event where Labreck and Michelle Warnky became the second and third women to finish a City Finals course. That wording belongs to the podcast’s event description; it is specific to that course and event, not a broader ranking of women’s results across the show.
Other show appearances
Ninja Coalition’s talent page lists Labreck in the All-Stars Special, Team Ninja Warrior, and the Skills Episode. It identifies her as captain of the “Labreckfast Club” on Team Ninja Warrior. These credits are highlights from her representative’s profile.
Rank #2
A dated NBC clip
NBC’s American Ninja Warrior page lists “Watch Ninja Jesse Labreck’s Inspirational Stage 1 Run,” dated August 26, 2024. The listing confirms a dated clip, but does not by itself establish her result for the season or her most recent competition appearance.
What does Jesse Labreck do beyond competing?
Teaching and motivating young people are part of the picture presented by Ninja Coalition, which describes Labreck’s teaching interests alongside her training and competition. The 2019 podcast listing also says its conversation covers her teaching background and work as a youth ninja coach.
The Alfond Youth & Community Center announced Labreck as manager of its NinjAdventure Zone and head coach. The announcement establishes that the center named her to those roles, but its available listing does not give an exact publication date or confirm whether she still holds them in 2026. Treat it as a reported appointment, not proof of current employment or program availability.

The cited material does not establish her age, family or relationship details, exact collegiate records, a complete season-by-season competition history, or her competition and employment status in 2026. It also does not support treating the 2024 NBC clip as her latest result. These details should not be inferred from a highlight or a brief biography.
Labreck is distinct from Jessie Graff, another competitor associated with American Ninja Warrior. Information about Graff is not evidence about Labreck.
