It was all the sweeter for the 18-year-old sprinter who was making his debut in the outdoor tournament after three previous appearances in the 60m indoor race.
The silver was won by Andre Ewers (10.49s) while the bronze went to Trei Thorogood (10.51s).
Last month, Azeem got off to a good start in the US after breaking his own men’s 60m indoor sprint national record at the Tiger Paw Invitational.
