Selected as the outstanding performer at the 1954 NAIA Championships when he won the NAIA 120-yard high hurdles and 220-yard low hurdles titles. His times of 14.6 and 24.1 in the preliminaries equaled meet records, then he had wind-aided times of 14.3 and 23.8 in the finals. He also placed sixth in the high jump with a jump of 6-4. He averaged 24 points per meet that season, as Eastern extended its string of dual meets without a loss to 37. Formerly from Emmett, Idaho, he averaged 22 points per meet in 1953 as Eastern won its fifth-straight Evergreen Conference title. At the 1953 NAIA Championships, he placed fourth in both the 120 hurdles and the high jump. In the 1952 NAIA Championships, he placed third in the 220 hurdles and was fourth in the high jump. In all, he won six NAIA District 1 titles and placed in the top four a total of seven times at three NAIA Championships. Said sportswriter Bill Boni of his hurdling ability: "He skims over the barriers so easily that there hardly seem to be any obstacles in his way." He also lettered three seasons as a running back for Eastern's football team from 1951-53. To remain involved and associated with athletics, Chadwick went on to spend 40 years in the sporting goods industry. He passed away Jan. 7, 2015.
