Dylan Heerikhuisen has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 2.19, set at GAN New Zealand Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 0.11% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in New Zealand. Until August 2024, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since January 2022, he has put 1,159 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.12 in January 2022 to 7.10, a 46% improvement. Dylan has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
