Fitchburg Spring 2026

Eighty-one competitors converged on Sizer School on April 25, 2026, creating high drama across ten fast-paced rounds of play. The single-day schedule carried all the pressure of a championship format, challenging athletes to maintain focus across multiple disciplines while navigating eliminations. Held in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, USA, Fitchburg Spring 2026 presented a full gauntlet of speedcubing events, demanding technical precision from competitors who had to shift gears instantly between varied puzzle sizes and specialized mechanics.

The premier 3x3x3 Cube contest stood as the ultimate test of endurance and consistency across three rigorous stages. Cameron Soulagnet emerged victorious against a field of 77 solvers, securing first place with an average of 7.80 seconds in the final and posting the best single of the event at 7.11 seconds. Saisabari Ramesh delivered a strong challenge to earn second place with an 8.54 average, while Charles Amarello captured third on the podium at 8.66. The final 3x3 results capped a demanding afternoon where every split second carried major weight.

Soulagnet expanded his dominance beyond the standard Rubik's Cube, turning the multi-layered puzzles into a masterclass in efficiency. In the 4x4x4 Cube, Soulagnet topped 44 rivals across two rounds, securing the title with a winning average of 28.32 seconds and a single mark of 25.56 seconds. George Fan earned the runner-up spot with an average of 32.15 seconds, closely followed by Ramesh in third place at 35.01. Soulagnet then closed out the big cubes by taking top honors in the 5x5x5 Cube, clocking a 48.91 winning average and a 46.78 single, while Fan placed second at 1:08.12 and Ramesh claimed third at 1:09.70.

Short-format puzzles provided intense, margin-thin battles where any small error could decide podium positioning. In the 2x2x2 Cube final, Ethan Mai posted a stellar 1.95 winning average and a lightning 1.49 single to secure first place out of 65 participants. Soulagnet took the silver spot with an average of 2.50 seconds, while Ramesh locked up another podium finish in third with 2.90. The quick-turning contest demanded immediate execution, demonstrating how explosive speed cubing requires complete command of short move sequences.

Side events offered no relief from the competitive stakes, as Justin Lee took charge of the specialized hardware. Lee earned victory in Pyraminx with a 2.93 winning average and a 2.29 single, prevailing over Andrew Lofgren who averaged 3.35, and Ramesh who finished third with 3.80. Lee doubled his trophy count by winning Skewb with a 2.98 average and a 2.62 best single, holding off Ramesh who placed second at 3.59 and Timothy Reid in third with 3.84. Across all six events, competitors from the United States secured all 18 podium positions available at the gathering.

Beyond the championship podiums, the cubing competition served as a stage for dramatic personal breakthroughs and milestone performances. Benjamin Helton took on six events and delivered major personal records, shaving 57.7 percent off his previous best in Skewb with an 8.56 mark, lowering his 4x4x4 Cube best by 10.2 percent to 1:32.92, and making his first official attempt at 5x5x5 Cube in 2:50.69.
