Milford 10-year-old Named "America Ninja Warrior Junior Champ"

MILFORD, CT - A Milford teenager has been officially crowned America Ninja Warrior Junior Champion.

Collin Cella, competed as a 10-year-old in the nationally televised competition and emerged as the best in competition.

Here is what his father Jaime Cella had to say about his son.

Collin began training with Drew Drechsel, the season 10 American Ninja Warrior winner, at New Era Ninjas in Hamden when he was 7 years old.

Soon after, he was selected to be part of the New Era competitive ninja team. Collin was the youngest kid on the competitive team which competes nationwide.

In April, 2018, American Ninja Warrior announced that they would be filming a kids show and that they were accepting submission videos. Collin is the current National Champion (2018) for the National Ninja League, which prior to the kids show, was the highest level of competition for kids! We prepared his video and application and hoped for the best.

It's absolutely amazing and overwhelming to see all that Collin had accomplished. He trains 3 days a week at New Era Ninja and every day in our "ninja garage."

He is only 10 yrs old and has fulfilled dreams that most people won't in a whole lifetime! Collin's passion and dedication for the sport is truly inspirational.
