2 year or 2 years?

PhilipMore context would help us zero in on your question, but here's a start.Why do you use "s" in the first sentence but not the second? Is it because you're describing it?
His daughter is six years old. He has a six-year-old daughter.

A ten-foot pole, a two-year-old daughter, a four-minute mile.
A ten-foot pole, a two-year-old daughter, a four-minute mile.
