Huntsman World Senior Games Active Life

Ginny MacColl is an actress, dancer, and competitive athlete in both ninja and swimming. She began her career in NYC as a dancer in the hit Broadway show, “Pippin,” in 1974 and then played roles as a housewife and mother in over 100 national and regional commercials throughout the 70s and 80s. After a 20-year hiatus to raise her family, Ginny rekindled her acting career and began strength training, inspired by her daughter, Jessie Graff, who has gone farther than any female on American Ninja Warrior. At 63 years old, Ginny did her very first pull up and later competed on American Ninja Warrior seasons 9, 10, and 15, making history this year as the oldest person to complete an obstacle. Now at 71 years old, Ginny continues to compete regionally in ninja competitions and swim meets across the nation. She also has appeared in multiple movies on the big screen and on television.
