During the outdoor season he participated in both the hammer throw and the discuss, recording a 193-4 personal record and regional qualifying mark and a second-place finish at the Tom Benich Invitational in the hammer throw. His longest mark of the season in the Discus was a 165-8 throw at the Mt. SAC Relays, leading him to a third-place finish.

2004: Hazen participated in the weight throw, where he scored at the Big 12 Championships, finishing eighth with a throw of 57-04.25.
