Colorado Cubing Weekend 2026

Jack Roe delivered a commanding performance across multiple formats at Summit Middle School, capturing three titles to highlight the action at Colorado Cubing Weekend 2026. Blindfolded solving demands sheer memory and mental fortitude, but across the ten distinct puzzles contested in Frisco, Colorado, USA, every competitor had to balance razor-sharp focus against the ticking timer. The two-day tournament, held across September 26 to September 27, 2026, brought together competitors from all experience levels for an intense weekend of high-altitude speedcubing.

The premier 3x3x3 Cube contest produced one of the closest finishes of the gathering, providing standout 3x3 results that thrilled the gallery. Roe took the top spot on the podium with a winning mark of 9.53 seconds, edging out Eashan Tilaye, who recorded a time of 9.62 seconds. Kaemon Vita finished close behind in third position with a result of 9.70 seconds. The traditional Rubik's Cube remains the centerpiece of any major cubing competition, and the narrow margins at the top showed how fine the line is between victory and runner-up status.

Roe extended his dominance into the larger puzzles, demonstrating the endurance required for extended solves. In the 5x5x5 Cube, Roe secured first place with a time of 1:04.54, finishing ahead of Vita, who took second in 1:08.11, and Miles Walcott, who earned third with 1:08.20. Roe added a third victory in the 7x7x7 Cube, posting a winning time of 3:04.43. Walcott claimed the silver medal position at 3:15.69, while Elizabeth Cutting rounded out the top three with a mark of 3:50.45.

The short-format puzzles also produced blistering times throughout the schedule. In the 2x2x2 Cube, Eashan Tilaye captured the title with a mark of 1.70 seconds, narrowly beating Bryan B. Conrrado, who took second in 1.77 seconds, and Walcott, who placed third in 2.58 seconds. Conrrado claimed victory in the Pyraminx event with a time of 3.73 seconds, holding off Vita, who recorded 3.82 seconds, and Tilaye, who took third with 4.84 seconds. In the Clock event, Sula Mareska earned top honors with a swift 5.48-second result, ahead of Ben Tibbetts at 6.29 seconds and Walcott at 6.53 seconds.

Specialty and one-handed events showcased the versatility of the entrants across the weekend. Miles Walcott earned a gold medal in 3x3x3 One-Handed with an impressive 15.78-second solve, finishing ahead of Truman Clack at 18.24 seconds and Vita at 19.32 seconds. The Megaminx competition saw Kaemon Vita claim first place with a time of 56.39 seconds, holding off Roe, who finished second in 57.15 seconds, and Tibbetts, who took third place with a time of 1:06.80. Across all events, podium spots went entirely to United States competitors, totaling 30 podium places across the board.

Behind the headline podiums, several competitors logged remarkable milestones that represent the heart of this WCA competition. Jackson Dyer entered six events and cut his Skewb personal best down to 8.04 seconds, a massive 76.6 percent improvement over his prior 34.40 mark, while also making his first ever attempt at 3x3x3 One-Handed in 1:48.65.
