'Swayze Special'
Bohdi Fisher competed against 320 other mullets in the age group of one to four-year-olds in round one. He was one of 34 mullets in his age group chosen to move on to round two in the competition. Fisher ranked 17th in the first round, capturing 1,015 votes and over $300 in donations.
Fisher's contest page reads, "My mullet parties hard in the back, stares you down in front, and my sides are clean and easy. All the others can contest, but the Swayze Special is the best! That’s hard core. That’s what I’m for, the boy you adore."

'Mississippi Mudflap'
Jax Lalk competed against hundreds of other mullets in the 5-8 age group in round 1.
Lalk's contest page reads, "It all started 2 years ago when he wanted hair long enough to flow out the back of his hockey helmet. At the time, his oldest brother had a mullet which was one influence, then of course Morgan Wallen was another— so as soon as his hair was long enough to curl up in the back, the Mississippi Mudflap was born!"
