3 sports, co-queens fit Farmington king's preps life

Farmington senior Alex Chadwick has helped the football team get off to a 5-1 start this season. He is a defensive back and also plays on special teams.

Chadwick is also a point guard on the basketball team in the winter and runs the sprints for the track & field squad in the spring.

He was also selected as the school's homecoming king, and shared the spotlight with rare royalty: co-queens Megan Grengs and Taylor Howie.

Here is a closer look at Chadwick:
