Worth County High School’s FBLA chapter delivered a strong performance at the District 1 Competition this past Thursday, February 5. The chapter brought home several top finishes and qualified nine students for the State Leadership Conference.
The Tigers were led by two first-place finishes and several runners-up who will represent the chapter at the state level:
Digital Video (1st Place): Seniors Lucas Frisch, Brayden Combs, and Andrew Griffin took the top spot with their professional video production. The team extended a special thank you to local business owner Adam Summers for allowing them to conduct an interview and tour his business to provide a real-world perspective for their project.
Electronic Career Portfolio (1st Place): Junior Kristen Tracy won her category with a comprehensive website showcasing her resume and career research focused on her passion for farming. You can view her award-winning portfolio at ktracy23.wixsite.com/farm.

Introduction to Business Presentation (2nd Place): Freshmen Tucker Fletchall and Brock Healy made an impressive debut, taking second place and qualifying for state in their first year of competition. Their presentation focused on the risks and benefits of businesses using artificial intelligence.
Objective Tests & Speaking: Jolynn Hawk placed in the top five in all of her events and qualified for state in two. She qualified in both Introduction to Supply Chain Management and Introduction to Business Communication. She also placed 5th in Introduction to Public Speaking.
In addition to the state qualifiers, Worth County saw strong placement in other competitive team events:
