Two athletes in the Roanoke Valley are getting special recognition.

William Fleming star athlete Micah Jones signed on Friday to run at the next level at George Mason.

William Fleming's Micah Jones wins the Artie Levin Personal Life Award.

Freshman Micah Jones rounded the first 100 meters on the curve where his teammate Timothy Allen was waiting. "When we were entering the final 400, we were maybe in second place, about 7 meters behind," he said. "I just got to make up the lead for that, I passed him in the last 100, I passed him and that was it." "It felt amazing winning with my friends and everything, feeling so much excitement, I was so happy," the senior said. "These guys put in a lot of hard training and hard work, and extra work throughout the season and it actually paid off here in the end," head coach Robert Vineyard said.
