On Friday, January 23, the Phoenix Indoor Track team participated in the Fred Hardy Indoor Track Invitational held at Fork Union Military Academy against approximately 20 other teams from around central Virginia! Fortunately, our team earned 11 medals overall, which included 10 Personal Records and an overall 6th place team finish for the Phoenix Girls!
Earning medals were:
Madison Oliver - 5th place in the 55m, 3rd place in the high jump, and 2nd place in the 300m
Abby Mox - 4th place in the 1600m
Mariah Parker - 6th place in the 300m
Natalie Adams - 4th place in the 3200m
Lillian Beatty - 5th place in the 3200m
Tamon Mayo - 4th place triple jump and 6th place 300m
Our boys 4x200 team finished in 3rd place with a time of 1:42.94 and was run by Devin Taylor, Adrian Johnson, Isaiah Osborne, and Tamon Mayo.
Our girls 4x400 team also finished 3rd with a PR time of 5:03.72 and was run by Kenya Watts, Taylor Sterling, Nia Price, and Abby Mox.
We are so proud of this team for remaining dedicated and giving 100% effort during practice! Indoor track season is tough because we have to battle cold temperatures, an inconsistent practice schedule, and being flexible with finding workout space. We are grateful to the athletic department, administration, and parents for always supporting us whole-heartedly and recognizing this hardworking team of athletes!
Sincerely,
Coach Beatty and Coach McQuain

Mecklenburg County High School is proud to recognize Jacob Worley as our December Senior of the Month—a student whose perseverance, character, and commitment to excellence shine in everything he does. Jacob is the son of Rodney and Clai Worley and April and Brett Currin. Jacob has been a dedicated member of FFA for six years, earning both his Greenhand Degree and Chapter Degree. His passion for agriculture also extends beyond school—he loves tending to his garden, spending time outdoors, and hopes to build his very own greenhouse one day to grow and sell his own produce. He also plans to return to MCHS for post-schol studies before attending trade school for culinary arts or horticulture.
He is an active member of Boydton Baptist Church, where he participates in the youth group and serves as a junior usher. His long-term goal is to become a deacon in the church. Jacob also serves his community through Buddy Ball at the Bailey Center, pouring kindness and joy into every interaction. Jacob’s story is one of remarkable resilience. By the age of ten, he had undergone four major surgeries, including two open-heart surgeries. Jacob continues to excel academically, taking great pride in maintaining straight A’s. In 8th grade, he received the Gift of Blue award, and this year he was honored as a member of the Homecoming Court. Jacob was also selected as the Heart Month Spokesperson for VCU, where he appeared on a billboard to raise awareness of heart health.
Looking ahead, Jacob has been chosen to attend a week-long independent course in Fishersville, VA, an opportunity he is thrilled to pursue. He also hopes to work at 313, continuing to build skills that match his future goals. We are proud to honor Jacob as our December Senior of the Month. Congratulations, Jacob!
Girls Soccer Interest Meeting will be held today at 2pm in MCHS Cafeteria
Yesterday, Ms. Thomas and a few of her students had the opportunity to bring baby goats around the building to visit with faculty and staff. It was a wonderful chance for students to share their knowledge, highlight the hands-on work we do in our program, and spread a little joy throughout the school. It’s amazing to see how agricultural education can create meaningful moments of connection within our school community.
