Ronell Joshua Mance (born March 21, 1992) is an American sprinter who specialises in the 400 metres. He attends 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.
