Maggie Malone-Hardin (née Malone; born December 30, 1993) is an American track and field athlete competing in the javelin throw.

[2] Born to Danny Malone and Nancy Kindig-Malone in College Station, Texas and raised in Geneva, Nebraska, Maggie attended Fillmore Central High School where her parents are teachers and coaches.

She greatly improved in the 2014 season, setting a best of 55.37 m (181 ft 7+3⁄4 in), winning the Big Ten Conference title, and placing fourth at the 2014 NCAA Outdoors.

In her first year in College Station, Texas, she was fourth at the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championships and placed ninth at the NCAAs, failing to build on her previous season.

Malone described this as "the worst season I've ever had" and credited the advice of teammate Lindon Victor with her change of approach to train harder in the summer months.

[10][11] A victory at the 2016 United States Olympic Trials soon followed, making her the first athlete in American history to win the collegiate and national titles in the same year.
