From Linton, Indiana, she attended Linton-Stockton High School before attending Purdue University.

On 19 June 2021 at the 2020 United States Olympic Trials (track and field) she threw a personal best 62.54m in the discus to finish second behind Valarie Allman and ahead of Rachel Dincoff.[6] [7] The result gave Hazlewood just 10 days to compete and meet or exceed the Olympic qualifying standard of 63.5 or she would not be able to go to Tokyo.[8] She threw at the BAAA Bahamas National Championship on Saturday 26 June 2021,[9] and the University of Michigan on 28 June without reaching the qualifying distance.[10]
