Olivia McTaggart (born 9 January 2000) is a pole vault athlete from New Zealand.[1] She was born in Australia and later moved with her family to Greenhithe, in Auckland, New Zealand. She attended Kristin School.
McTaggart was a competitive gymnast for 10 years before changing to pole vaulting due to a back injury in 2014. After less than six months in the sport, she competed at the Australian Junior Championships in the under-16 event and won a bronze medal.[1]
In 2017 McTaggart broke the New Zealand under-17 record previously held by Eliza McCartney. The height she cleared, 4.40m, placed her third in the world for under-18 athletes and seventh in the world for under-20 athletes.[2] The same year she was a recipient of the AMP National Scholarship.[3]
In 2018, she competed at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Australia[2] where she finished ninth with a clearance of 4.30m. Her brother Cameron also competed at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the men's 77 kg division weightlifting.[4][5] That year she also competed at the IAAF World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland where she finished fifth in the final also with a clearance of 4.30m.
In 2019 McTaggart competed at the Universiade in Napoli, Italy, where she finished fourth with a mark of 4.31m.
She represented NZ at the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships where she came sixth with a clearance of 4.60m.
