Ajee’ Wilson set an AR at 800m by .31 seconds, with her sterling performances of AR 1:58.29. Her race at the Millrose Games was a classic. Pace setter La Tavia Thomas hit the 200m in 26.88 and 400m in 56.22. At the 400m, a restrained Ajee’ Wilson hit the 400m in 57.51. France’s Cynthia Anais kept Wilson out of the lead post pace setter. Anais lead at 500m in 1:12.49.
This race resembled a roller derby. After France’s Anais took lead, Jamaica’s took the lead and lead at the 600m in 1:28.16. The patented Ajee’ Wilson move took place over the last furlong, and Ajee’ Wilson just moved away, one second plus ahead of Natoya Goule (1:59.35).
What does this tell us about Ajee’ Wilson? That she is fit! We can not wait until we can see her outdoors in 2020.
