Trenton Freeland
3×3 · top 3.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022FREE03
Trenton Freeland has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.32, set at Springfield Summer Open 2023, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,910th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2022, he has put 135 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.93 in July 2022 to 8.32, a 44% improvement. Trenton has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
