Biography

Ashby was born on 31 July 1907 in Coventry, Warwickshire, the son of William and Ada Jane Ashby.
At the 1928 Olympic Games, Ashby was one of three British athletes competing in the men's 1500 metres. Although he came third in his heat, a report in the Coventry Evenging Telegraph says "He ran a very good race, gave of his best and was only beaten by two men whose claims to be in the final were overwhelming.".
Ashby finished second behind Cyril Ellis in the 1 mile event at the 1929 AAA Championships.
