She qualified for the semi-finals but did not manage to finish the race.
She had greater success at the 2004 World Junior Championships the following year, as she recorded a personal best of 2:06.44 in the heats and reached the event final, finishing ninth. In 2005, she entered the IAAF World Cross Country Championships for the first time and was 31st overall in the junior race.
She failed to repeat this form in the final and was fourth in a time of 2:08.61. She was first in the 400 metres at the African Northern Region Junior Championships in July 2006, but was beaten into second by Aicha Rezig in her speciality.
She reached the semi-finals of the 2006 World Junior Championships in Athletics and ran at the 2007 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, taking 46th place.
Later that year, she ran a personal best of 2:02.60 at a meeting in Biberach, Germany – a mark which made her the third fastest junior woman that year. The highlight 2008 for Hachlaf was a fourth-place finish at the 2008 African Championships, where she finished in a time of 2:04.74 behind Agnes Samaria. The 2009 season brought significant improvements for Hachlaf.
