Ronnie Ash (born July 2, 1988)[2] is an American track and field athlete specializing in hurdles. With his 12.99 (+1.2) 110 metres hurdles on June 29, 2014 in a semi-final round of the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California, he moved into the prestigious sub 13 club and is currently the 17th fastest hurdler in history.[3]
Ash did not finish in the final.[4] Later in the season, Ash was silver medalist at the 2014 IAAF Continental Cup,[5] selected to the team because his time held up as the #2 time from the countries that make up the Americas team for the season.[6]
He reached the 2016 Olympic final and was in contention for a medal before stumbling over the final hurdle and falling. He was ultimately disqualified for an illegal hurdle clearance under then IAAF rule 168.7b.
