Casey Ding has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.64, set at Ephrata Fall 2025, puts him in the top 0.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in the United States. Until March 2013, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since October 2022, he has put 390 official solves on the record across four events.

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.
