We had a three-week speed run competition running from July 4 through July 24. The puzzle was a 200-piece puzzle by Ceaco called Stitch: Wear Your Shades.
Valerie Cunningham had the fastest single competition time at 0:09:24. This is the Valerie’s first time winning a UTJPA speed run competition. Congratulations Valerie! Megan Chung finished in second place with a time of 0:09:37 and Lisa Grow finished in third place with a time of 0:10:45.
Makayla Malloy completed the puzzle the most times with 50. Megan Chung was second with 43 and Valerie Cunningham was third with 42. For Makayla, that’s exactly 10,000 pieces in those three weeks! Congratulations Makayla!
Overall, there were 37 people that completed the puzzle at least one time for a grand total of 455 completions. That’s a total of 91,000 pieces placed during the competition. The average completion time was 0:23:02. The total amount of time spent completing the puzzle was 174 hours and 39 minutes. View the full results here.
Thank you to everyone that participated in the 2025 Summer Speed Run! Congratulations to Valerie and Makayla! Watch for details for another speed run coming up this fall.
