Ashley Elizabeth Cain (born July 22, 1995) is an American figure skater. As a single skater, she is the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy bronze medalist and the 2012 U.S. Junior silver medalist. She also competes in pair skating with Timothy LeDuc.
Ashley Cain was born July 22, 1995, in Carrollton, Texas. 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. 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.
Cain began learning to skate in 1999. Her father introduced her to pairs when she was seven or eight years old. She is a member of U.S. Figure Skating's DREAM (Determination, Responsibility, Education, Achievement, Motivation) Team, which is involved in mentoring developing skaters.
Competing in novice pairs, Cain finished 8th with Sergei Sidorov at the 2008 U.S. Championships. She teamed up with Joshua Reagan in April 2009. The pair was coached by David Kirby and Peter Cain at the Dr. Pepper Star Center in Euless, Texas.
In the 2010–11 season, Cain/Reagan received two Junior Grand Prix assignments, placing 6th in England and taking silver in the Czech Republic. In January 2011, they won the U.S. national junior title, becoming the only pair to ever win U.S. novice and junior titles in consecutive years. They ranked 8th in the short program, 4th in the free skate, and 4th overall at the 2011 World Junior Championships in Gangneung, South Korea.
