Utah All-Stars 2026

Inside the competition space at Weber State University, the focus of speedcubing demands complete mental stillness. Competitors approach each table with quiet determination, knowing that solving complex puzzles at speed requires total memorisation and flawless spatial awareness. On March 21, 2026, forty competitors gathered in Ogden, Utah, USA for an intense single-day meet. Across four official events and seven rounds of action, the cubing competition delivered rapid turns, quick turnarounds, and top-tier execution from the local speed cubing community.

While blindfolded disciplines in the sport require athletes to commit entire scrambled states to memory before donning an eye cover, the standard puzzles at Utah All-Stars 2026 demanded an equally fierce level of focus. Every inspection window gave competitors mere seconds to plan complete solution paths in advance. Across the four distinct events, that split-second planning separated the podium contenders from the rest of the field in a packed venue schedule.

The 3x3x3 Cube served as the centerpiece of the meet, with all forty entrants taking to the tables. Eric Pesci captured the top spot on the podium, logging a winning average of 8.16 seconds to secure first place. Pesci also delivered the best single solve of the event at 7.10 seconds. Canyon Pettitt finished in second place with an 8.70 average, narrowly edging out David Dopp, who claimed third place with an average of 8.73 seconds. The 3x3 results highlighted intense competition at the top of the standings.

In the 2x2x2 Cube, Miles LeBlanc navigated through two rounds to claim victory with a sharp winning average of 1.88 seconds and a best single solve of 1.56 seconds. Canyon Pettitt earned his second runner-up finish of the day with a 1.92 average, while Corbin Rodriguez took third place on the podium with an average of 2.19 seconds. The event saw a total of forty competitors battling for fractions of a second over two competitive rounds.

Corbin Rodriguez reached the top step of the podium in Pyraminx, taking first place among thirty-five competitors with a winning average of 2.19 seconds and a best single of 1.71 seconds across two rounds. Canyon Pettitt secured another silver placement with an average of 3.02 seconds, followed by Roulin McClellan in third place with an average of 3.59 seconds. In Square-1, Elliot Pimentel won the single-round event of thirty-four competitors, putting up a winning average of 8.14 seconds and a best single of 6.86 seconds ahead of Canyon Pettitt at 10.81 seconds and Cade Beck at 14.75 seconds.

Beyond the podium battles, several competitors achieved remarkable milestones across their events. Garrett Henrie delivered a massive Pyraminx personal best of 4.57 seconds, cutting 54.7 percent from his previous mark, and took sixth in Square-1 with a personal best of 10.48 seconds.

All twelve podium places at Utah All-Stars 2026 went to United States competitors, wrapping up a memorable WCA competition in Ogden. From the classic Rubik's Cube to shape-shifting challenges like Square-1, the single-day showcase tested speed, dexterity, and mental preparation across every round as competitors concluded their weekend of competition.

With the brackets concluded and results ratified, the gathering at Weber State University demonstrated the depth of talent present in the region. Competitors walked away with new personal milestones, refined techniques, and valuable experience to carry forward into the rest of the 2026 cubing calendar.
