Born to Danny Malone and Nancy Kindig-Malone in Geneva, Nebraska, she attended Fillmore Central High School there. She started out in the heptathlon, but decided to focus on her strongest event – the javelin. Her mother had competed collegiately for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and she too joined the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. In her first year of competition in 2013 she placed third at the Big Ten Conference championships and was tenth at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. She greatly improved in the 2014 season, setting a bets of 55.37 m (181 ft 734 in), winning the Big Ten Conference title, and placing fourth at the 2014 NCAA Outdoors.

Malone transferred to Texas A&M University and began throwing for the Texas A&M Aggies track team. In her first year there 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. Her sister Audrey joined her in the javelin team at Texas A&M.
