#### American Ninja Warrior 10

Thorne returned in American Ninja Warrior 10 in Minneapolis. She had a little trouble with the Double Twister, but was still able to complete the obstacle. However, she surprisingly failed the Ring Jump, and missed her chance of making it to the womens' top 5 for the first time.

#### American Ninja Warrior 11

Thorne returned in Oklahoma City for American Ninja Warrior 11. She had a rough stumble at the Diving Boards, but persevered and completed the obstacle, hanging on to the platform by her fingertips. Her run continued until she fell at the Coconut Climb. It was good enough to not only get her to second place on the womens' top 5, but also the top 30 overall, where she came in at 28th place.

In the city finals, she took a shot to the face on the Fly Wheels and had arguably the save of the night on the Diving Boards, when she faceplanted on the third board and was just narrowly able to reach the landing platform. She gritted her way past Coconut Climb, becoming the first woman to do so. She then became the second mom to get up the Warped Wall, and beasted her way through the Salmon Ladder. She later failed the Crazy Clocks one obstacle later. Unfortunately, she had the slowest time for a female competitor to that point, so she was eventually knocked out of the Women's Top 2 by her friend Barclay Stockett. Despite missing out on the Vegas finals, it was still a significant moment for her, as it was the best performance of her career.
