Schoon and Reinke Excel in Tense Finishes at Wisconsin Quiet Championship 2025English
A single-round field of nine competitors in the 4x4x4 Blindfolded final came down to a breathtakingly tight margin at Monona Terrace. Cale Schoon captured top honors with a single mark of 3:19.09, edging out Jacob Turrubiartes who finished in 3:21.94, while Carter Kucala took third place in 3:33.48. In an event requiring total memorization and execution without sight, Schoon delivered the decisive solve on his final attempt to secure victory. The Wisconsin Quiet Championship 2025 gathered 17 competitors across five specialty disciplines on September 20, 2025 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
The 3x3x3 Fewest Moves contest proved equally competitive, ending in a remarkable tie at the very top of the standings. Both Cale Schoon and Carter Kucala matched each other with a winning average of 22.67 across three attempts, with Schoon registering the single best result of 20 moves. Walker Welch secured third place with an average of 26.33 among 15 entrants. Analyzing every sequence of the standard Rubik's Cube under strict time constraints demands absolute precision, and Schoon and Kucala proved to be the standard bearers at this WCA competition.
Sightless solving across multiple cubes tested endurance and memory throughout the weekend. In 3x3x3 Multi-Blind, Thomas Reinke claimed first place with a successful result of 28 out of 33 cubes solved in a time of 58:37. Carter Kucala pushed the boundaries with a massive attempt of 29 out of 36 cubes completed in 1:00:00 to finish second. Jacob Turrubiartes earned third place on the podium by solving 22 out of 28 cubes in 52:03, highlighting an extraordinary display of mental stamina.
The 3x3x3 Blindfolded event spanned two rounds and 14 competitors, where Thomas Reinke again emerged on top. Reinke took victory in the final round with a winning single of 33.30 seconds. Jacob Turrubiartes placed second with a time of 39.15 seconds, followed by Cale Schoon in third at 50.97 seconds. Looking at the complete 3x3 results across the weekend, earlier rounds featured rapid times including a 23.99 single from Schoon, a 24.74 from Turrubiartes, and a 25.89 from Kucala, showing how fast the field could move without sight.
In the 5x5x5 Blindfolded event, Jacob Turrubiartes took the title with a commanding single solve of 7:19.56. Cale Schoon followed in second place with a time of 8:59.02, while Walker Welch claimed third place on the podium with 22:23.00. Handling the immense piece count of a large cube while completely blindfolded requires intense concentration and disciplined execution, making it one of the most grueling tests at any speedcubing tournament.
Away from the top of the podium, several competitors achieved remarkable individual milestones that defined the depth of the weekend. Charles Bois delivered an outstanding performance in 3x3x3 Fewest Moves, setting a personal best of 24 moves, which was 17.2 percent faster than his prior mark of 29. Jack Johnston stepped up for his first ever attempt at 3x3x3 Blindfolded, logging a successful time of 5:13.42 while also claiming 9th place in 3x3x3 Multi-Blind. Sebastian Carrillo improved his Fewest Moves personal best to 28 moves, marking a 6.7 percent improvement over his previous best of 30.
Other dedicated speed cubing athletes took on heavy workloads across multiple categories at the tournament. Aaron Soley and Lucas Lippman-Bruno each took on five separate events, with both reaching a peak finish of 4th place in 5x5x5 Blindfolded. Simon Kellum contested four events and similarly earned a 4th-place result in 5x5x5 Blindfolded. Jameson R. Sramek tackled four disciplines and secured 6th place in 4x4x4 Blindfolded, while Zeke Mackay competed in three events and finished 4th in 3x3x3 Blindfolded with a single of 47.18.
