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

Career
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. 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. She threw at the BAAA Bahamas National Championship on Saturday 26 June 2021, and the University of Michigan on 28 June without reaching the qualifying distance.

Personal life
She is the daughter of Bob and Janet Hazlewood (nee Pfefferkorn). In December 2020, Hazlewood married fellow Purdue alumni Luke Lewis in Columbus, Ohio.
