Halle Michelle Hazzard (born 4 February 1999) is a Grenadian sprinter and sister of Grenadian sprinter Payton Hazzard. She made her competitive debut for Grenada at the 2017 CARIFTA Games, where she earned a Silver medal and as well as a Bronze Medal in the 200m and 100m respectively. She then went to Grenada to compete in the 3rd OECS Track And Field Championships.[2] At this meet she was able to secure two Bronze medals. One in the Women 100 Meter Dash OECS with a time of 11.76 seconds and another as part of Grenada's 4 × 100 m relay team which included Chelsea Mitchell, Jonair Thomas and Amanda Crawford. On 14 February Halle broke the Grenadian 60m at the Tiger Paw Invite. She surpassed her UVA record-setting run of 7.31 from the week prior three times during the meet. She ran a time of 7.27 during the prelims before dropping the time in the semifinals with a 7.24 run. She closed the day with a time of 7.30 in the finals to finish fifth in the event. Her time ranks second in the ACC and 13th in the NCAA. Hazzard also captured a career-best time in the 200m dash. Her time of 23.79 ranks second in school history.[3][4] She further lowered that time to 23.45 seconds in the prelims of the 2021 ACC Indoor Championships and moved to the #1 all time in the event for her school.[5] She was also named as a Qualifier for the 2021 Indoor Championships in the 60m[6]
