Cubing in School Westminster 2025

Dominic Redisi locked in the weekend standout performance in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, capturing the 3x3x3 Cube crown with a blisteringly fast 6.16-second final average. His run was anchored by a sharp 5.21 single that set the benchmark across three intense rounds of traditional Rubik's Cube solving. The one-day showdown on May 10, 2025, gathered 128 competitors at The Westminster Schools, offering a packed schedule of speedcubing action across five distinct disciplines and ten rounds of tournament play.

The premier 3x3 results capped off an exhilarating day of competition that drew a massive field of 127 starters in the main event alone. Redisi took the top step of the podium ahead of Caleb Chen, who secured second place with a 6.61 average, and Noah Swor, who finished third with a mark of 7.46. The standard 3x3 bracket demanded consistency from the morning heats to the late-round finals, giving spectators some of the sharpest speed cubing seen in the region this year.

Redisi added a second gold medal to his tally in Skewb, where he blazed through two rounds to claim first place with a 1.91 winning average and a 1.77 single. He was joined on the Skewb podium by Ireland's Declan Mangan-Lamb, who earned silver with a 3.11 average, and Eddie Szuster, who took bronze in 3.33 seconds. Redisi's commanding pace in the quick-turning formats established him as one of the defining figures of the entire meet.

Noah Swor matched that multi-event excellence by sweeping two of the more technical events on the schedule. In the 5x5x5 Cube, Swor outpaced 63 other solvers across a direct final round to win with an average of 50.90 and a single of 49.67. Vishwa Sankar claimed the runner-up position in 52.92, while Katie Hull took third in 56.47. Swor followed up that performance by capturing the Square-1 title with a 7.55 average, holding off Henry Schueneman at 9.43 and Redisi at 11.76.

The Clock event delivered another clinic in rapid mechanical execution, featuring 83 competitors over two rounds. Drake Denton Richard took top honors by posting a winning average of 3.64, highlighted by an event-best single of 2.94. Caleb Chen collected his second silver medal of the weekend with a 4.42 average, while Vishwa Sankar secured third place with a 5.47 mark to round out the podium finishers in the specialized dial-turning puzzle.

Beyond the top podium steps, the atmosphere inside the venue was fueled by tremendous individual breakthroughs from solvers making huge leaps on the official stage. Lee Crowe took on five separate events and produced a remarkable Square-1 personal best of 20.04 seconds, cutting 66.7 percent off their previous best, while also making a tournament debut in Clock with an 8.40 and trimming their Skewb personal best to 6.97.
