Major Gilreath has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.14, set at Thrice as Nice Miami 2025, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 260th in the United States. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since April 2024, he has put 420 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:24.19 in August 2024 to 13.23, an 84% improvement. Major has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
