Kansas Air Capital Cubing 2025

Aaron Huynh delivered the sharpest mark of the day in Wichita, Kansas, USA, claiming the premier 3x3x3 Cube title with a 6.76 winning average and a 6.21 single. His commanding performance in the main Rubik's Cube category set the pace for a packed day of action. Across 13 rounds of competition, 42 competitors gathered at Morning Star Community Church to push their limits, turning the one-day gathering on September 13, 2025, into a showcase of remarkable personal progress across seven distinct events.

Huynh was not finished after securing top honors in the standard cube. He added a second tournament victory in the 4x4x4 Cube, posting a winning average of 30.21 alongside a fast single of 27.43. Behind him in the 4x4x4 Cube final, Benjamin J. Dunn claimed second place with a 34.70 average, while Isaiah Baker took third in 38.17. The two multi-event standouts traded places across several finals, highlighting the depth of talent on display throughout the speedcubing program in the 2025 season.

Lydia Workman matched Huynh by collecting two titles of her own in the big cube categories.
