Joshua Reagan (born November 5, 1989) is an American pair skater. With former partner Ashley Cain, he is the 2011 U.S. Junior champion and placed fourth at the 2011 World Junior Championships.[1] He currently skates with Brittany Jones.

Career

On August 1, 2005, Reagan fell while skating, sustaining a concussion and becoming blind in one eye for a year.[2][3] He focused on swimming for the next four years but then returned to skating.[2][4]

Reagan began skating with Ashley Cain in April 2009.[2] They were coached by David Kirby and Peter Cain at the Dr. Pepper Star Center in Euless, Texas.[5] Cain and Reagan finished 4th at the 2011 World Junior Championships and won the 2011 U.S. Junior title. On February 24, 2012, they announced the end of their partnership.[6]

On March 22, 2012, it was announced that Reagan had teamed up with 2011 U.S. senior champion Caitlin Yankowskas.[7] They were coached by Johnny Johns, David Kirby, and Marina Zueva in Canton, Michigan.[7][8] Yankowskas and Reagan were assigned to the 2012 Cup of China and the 2012 NHK Trophy but withdrew from both events after Reagan sustained a rib injury in practice.[9][10] They parted ways at the end of the season.

On April 29, 2013, Reagan and Becky Bereswill announced they had formed a partnership.[11] After their split, he teamed up with Canadian Brittany Jones.[12]
