When Jessie Graff charged her way to victory on this season’s “American Ninja Warrior,” she inspired millions of people who watched on TV and online — but no one quite so much as 5-year-old Lylah McCall.
In a video posted to SB Nation’s American Ninja Warrior Nation Facebook page that’s racked up over 20 million views in just one day, Lylah catapulted herself through an obstacle course that her dad built in the family’s backyard. The course made of wooden planks, tree trunks and even shed roofs requires serious skill.
Lylah handles it like a pro, risking splinters and dangerous falls to scramble her way through the course — and in a “Girls Are Super Stars” shirt, no less.
Now her dad’s raising funds for a bigger, better course via a GoFundMe campaign, and fans have already raised half the funds in the 17 hours since it went live. Take note, NBC, a Junior American Ninja Warriors may be your next smash hit.
