Ronell Joshua Mance (born March 21, 1992) is an American sprinter who specialises in the 400 metres. He attends Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, where he has transferred after two years the University of Southern California.[1]

On June 24, 2012, he finished 4th in the 400 meters at the 2012 United States Olympic Trials, a result that virtually assures him a position on the United States Olympic team as a member of the 4x400 relay.[2]

At the 2010 World Junior Championships in Athletics in Moncton, Canada, Mance won a gold medal over 4×400 metres relay. One year earlier, at the 2009 World Youth Championships in Athletics in Brixen, Italy, he received a silver medal over 400 metres, finishing second to Kirani James. In June 2010, he committed to the USC Trojans.[3]

While at Don Antonio Lugo High School in Chino, California, Mance was a 2010 All-USA high school track and field selection by USA Today.[4] That year he won the CIF California State Meet championship in the 400 meters, and finished 4th in the 200.[5] In 2009, he finished second in the 400 meters to Reggie Wyatt, in the same meet Wyatt set the National High School Record in the 300 hurdles.
