Owen Gross has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.37, set at Queen City 2016, puts him in the top 18.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7,419th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since June 2015, he has put 61 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.
