Adams-Johnson garnered nominations from student-athletes around the region to win the contest, according to Primo.
On Thursday morning, Adams-Johnson was surprised with the gift at Southwark.
"I had no idea this was happening," Adams-Johnson said. "They snuck it in right under my nose, and when I first heard of it, I'm thinking I'll probably get a gift card or something, so figuring out this was the prize, I was kind of blown away."
