Wolverine Weekdays 3 Orem 2025

Inside the Sorenson Student Center, the familiar clatter of plastic pieces and the soft tap of hands on timing mats set the tempo for an intense day of competition. Forty competitors gathered in Orem, Utah, USA on July 21, 2025, to test their reflexes and efficiency across five official events. Every table carried the focused energy of a dedicated cubing competition, where split seconds determined the day's hierarchy.

The 3x3x3 Cube final delivered the defining drama of Wolverine Weekdays 3 Orem 2025 as the podium came down to the absolute wire. Canyon Pettitt secured top honors in the 35-competitor field, logging a winning average of 8.93 seconds alongside the day's best single of 7.40 seconds. Wilson Hettinger pushed the pace with a 9.12 average to take second place, while Hana Nakano rounded out the podium in third with a 9.31 average.

The 3x3 results demonstrated how razor-thin the margins were at the top of the standings. Pettitt, Hettinger, and Nakano were separated by less than four-tenths of a second across their five-solve averages. The single-round format meant that every turn counted, leaving no room for recovery and turning the final solves into an exacting test of composure under pressure.

Specialist events brought equally competitive battles to the tables throughout the afternoon. Matthew Duffin earned the victory in 3x3x3 One-Handed, recording a winning average of 12.30 seconds and a best single of 11.72 across a field of 12 competitors. Hettinger captured another silver medal with a 12.71 average, while Pettitt added a third-place finish to his resume with a 12.86 mark, confirming their versatility across the traditional Rubik's Cube formats.

The 2x2x2 Cube event saw Miles LeBlanc take first place with a 2.55 winning average and a 2.08 best single among 15 competitors. Elliot Pimentel claimed second place with a 2.75 average, which included a sharp 2.02 single, while Leo Williams took third at 3.67. In Skewb, Miles Pimentel topped the six-person field with a 6.31 average and a 5.23 single, followed by Garrett Henrie at 8.93 and Williams at 9.90. The Pyraminx bracket went to Angel Zaid Gomez Tovar, who posted an 11.88 average ahead of Owen Greene at 15.95 and Asher Stinger at 16.00.

Beyond the championship podiums, several competitors logged major career breakthroughs across their events.
