FARMINGTON, New Mexico (KOAT) — A 2-year-old Farmington boy could soon be the business in the front, party in the back champion.
Neil Archuleta made it to the USA Mullet Championship’s top 25 in the contest’s kids division.
Living up to the all mighty mullet’s nickname, Neil’s hair is ready for a day at the office up front and ready to let loose at the playground in the back.
Neil’s mom, Brooklyn Archuleta, told KOAT that Neil’s had his legendary mullet since his first birthday when he got his first haircut.
Archuleta said her sister-in-law heard about the mullet competition on Facebook and so when they heard about the kids division, they decided to enter Neil.
“He’s had this nice this nice hair and we saw it and so we were like, ‘wow he’s cute and you know he’s got awesome hair’ so we just thought we would try it,” Archuleta said.
When Neil isn’t tending to his soon-to-be prize-winning locks, he told KOAT he likes tractors, firetrucks and cars.
Voting starts Oct. 5 and ends on Oct. 7. Fans of Neil can vote on the USA Mullet Championship and Archuleta said each registered email address can vote once per day.
