Aspen Sequoia Gayton has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.21, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2025, puts her in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,997th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since November 2022, she has put 460 official solves on the record across 14 events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
