Lucas Hatfield has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.22, set at Imagination Station A 2026, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 899th in the United States. Until September 2009, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since May 2023, he has put 394 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 34.16 in May 2023 to 14.22, a 58% improvement. Lucas has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
