Personal life

Ashley Cain was born July 22, 1995 in Carrollton, Texas.[2] She is the daughter of Peter Cain, an Australian former pair skater who competed at the 1980 Olympics, and Darlene, a Canadian former ice dancer.[3][4] She is also the niece of Elizabeth Cain and the cousin of Sean Carlow who competed for Australia in pair skating and men's singles, respectively.

She studied online at Texas Tech University Independent School.[5]

Career

Cain began skating pairs with Joshua Reagan in April 2009.[6] They were coached by David Kirby and Peter Cain at the Dr. Pepper Star Center in Euless, Texas.[3] Cain and Reagan finished 4th at the 2011 World Junior Championships and won the 2011 U.S. Junior title, becoming the only pair to ever win U.S. novice and junior titles in consecutive years.[7] On February 24, 2012, they announced the end of their partnership.[7]

As a single skater, Cain began competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2011 and won silver on the junior level at the 2012 U.S. Championships. She won the bronze medal at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, her first senior international. The following season, she took bronze at the 2014 Ondrej Nepela Trophy and was invited to two Grand Prix events, the 2014 Cup of China and 2014 Rostelecom Cup.[8][9]

Cain is a member of U.S. Figure Skating's DREAM (Determination, Responsibility, Education, Achievement, Motivation) Team, which is involved in mentoring developing skaters.[10]

On May 23, 2016, Cain announced her new pair partnership with Timothy LeDuc.[11][12]
