History
CC got their first cube in Mid-August 2015, and finished learning how to solve it in Mid-August 2016. CC learned first layer on their own, second layer from a friend, and third layer from RedKB's tutorial on YouTube [1]. CC went to their first competition in April 2017, Don't Mess With Texas 2017 and, according to them, even though they didn't compete, “still had a lot of fun.” CC competed for the first time later that year at Longhorn Cube Day 2017 and met one of their closest friends, Cameron Burke, who they still talk to today. Since then, CC has competed in every event except for 5x5 Blindfolded. On March 9, 2019, CC set the OH Southern Record Single with an 8.74 [2]. On June 1, they got a 38.26 [3] 3x3 with feet single, which was 2nd in Texas. On July 28, CC got a 5.97 [4] 3x3 single, currently putting them 8th in Texas.
CC also has a YouTube channel [5], a Twitch channel [6], and a Discord server [7].
