Wilson embraces Rio olympics experience

July 28 is Ajee’ Wilson Day in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

The Monmouth County Freeholders awarded Wilson’s mother, Tonya, with a certificate representing the day dedicated to her daughter.

“It was pretty exciting for all of us,” said Serena DiMaso, a county freeholder. “It is just so awesome to have someone you can touch, in the surreal sense, be a part of something so special. To know someone who conquered that dream is pretty, I don’t know, I am at a loss of words because it is that special and that emotional.”

Wilson was absent from the ceremony.
