3x3s in 303 Colorado 2025

Noah Wakefield delivered a dominant masterclass at The King Center on the Auraria Campus, sweeping to victory across three distinct events headlined by a commanding 7.90 average in the standard 3x3x3 Cube. The single-day gathering brought together 18 dedicated competitors in Denver, Colorado, USA on December 6, 2025. Wakefield set the pace early by registering the fastest single solve of the entire day at 7.00 seconds. His commanding performance in the main event anchored an intense schedule dedicated entirely to the classic Rubik's Cube variations.

The 3x3s in 303 Colorado 2025 gave speedcubing enthusiasts a focused, high-intensity platform featuring five distinct disciplines across five total rounds. Evan Wilson secured the second step of the main podium with an 8.86 average, bolstered by an 8.41 single solve. Alfonsus Rahardjo locked down the third spot on the podium with an even 10.00 average. The concentrated tournament structure allowed participants to test their limits, yielding rapid turnarounds and competitive 3x3 results across the board in the heart of the 303 area code.

Wakefield extended his winning margin into the specialty categories, capturing the top spot in 3x3x3 One-Handed with an average of 15.28 seconds and a single of 13.71. Evan Wilson earned another silver medal with an 18.66 average, while Truman Clack claimed bronze with a 19.36 average. In the tactical arena of 3x3x3 Fewest Moves, Wakefield completed his golden treble with an average of 39.33 moves and a single of 36. Rachel Joy Peterson finished runner-up with an average of 43.00 moves, and Anne Peterson took third with 44.33 moves.

The memory-intensive disciplines delivered equally remarkable battles. Luke Meszar emerged as the champion in 3x3x3 Blindfolded, posting a decisive winning average of 29.43 seconds alongside a best single of 28.75. Jason Hammerman earned second place with a 53.61 average, and Preston Hoing completed the podium at 1:06.33. Solving without sight requires complete mental mapping and precise execution, and Meszar maintained supreme focus through every rotation to secure the title before stepping into the marathon multi-cube challenge later in the afternoon.

In 3x3x3 Multi-Blind, Jason Hammerman claimed the championship by successfully resolving 22 out of 31 cubes within the exact 1:00:00 time limit. Meszar followed closely behind in second place, securing 14 out of 17 cubes in 47:42, while Preston Hoing earned third place by solving 11 out of 13 cubes in 56:42. The discipline requires competitors to commit dozens of cube states to memory before donning the blindfold, making Hammerman's 22 solved puzzles a test of endurance at this WCA competition.
