It’s a party all around for this 6-year-old.

Tiny trendsetter Rory Ehrlich took out the top spot for this year’s Kids Mullet Championships, with his hairstyle dubbed the “Cheddar Wiz.”

A Pennsylvania kid’s professional-in-the-front, party-in-the-back hairstyle won in a hairy competition between 300 kids ages 3-8.

“He was invited to the Phillies game and he got to meet with John Kruk and talk mullets,” Airen Ehrlich, Rory’s mother, told WPVI-TV. “Rory now thinks that John Kruk is his bestie.”

In addition to becoming Kruk’s best friend, the 6-year-old won $5,000 in prize money. He has big plans for his winnings, including buying his sister an alpaca and “[going] to wing night again.”

Rory also said he will “save a little money for Wounded Warriors,” a charity for veterans which the proceeds of the competition go toward.

The second-place award went to 3-year-old Ezekiel Arita from Hawaii, with his creative look titled “Mr. Aloha Mullet.” The third-place finisher was 5-year-old Kamden Cunningham, also from Pennsvylvania, whose ‘do was dubbed “The Kammander.”

Registration is currently open for this year’s men’s and over-55 mullet contests.

According to the website, the Mullet Championships began in 2020 with an adult competition, held locally in Michigan.

Now a nationwide contest, the scope has expanded to include separate categories for kids, teens and an “open division” for men and women ages 19 and up.
