Tania Murray Haigh (formerly Dixon, née Murray; born 3 October 1970) is a former New Zealand high jumper and triple jumper.

Murray was born in Ranfurly on 3 October 1970.

As a child she suffered from several illnesses, including hepatitis, rheumatic fever, glandular fever and growths of her knees.

Encouraged by her doctor to become more active, she joined the Alexandra Athletics Club.

As a junior, Murray competed in sprint events, as well as in the long jump, high jump and triple jump.

Representing Otago at the national athletic championships, she won the under-18 high jump in 1988, the under-20 100 metres hurdles and high jump in 1989, and the under-20 100 metres, 200 metres and high jump in 1990.

Murray was New Zealand women's high jump champion in 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1997, and was New Zealand triple jump champion in 1994, 1997, and 1999.

Murray represented New Zealand in the high jump at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland.

Murray and Janet Boyle from Northern Ireland were the two of the six athletes to jump 1.88 metres, but then both all failed to clear 1.91 metres.

As Murray and Boyle were the only two to clear 1.88 metres at their first attempts, they went into a jump-off to decide the gold and silver medals.

After a dramatic jump-off, Murray eventually emerged victorious, and took the gold medal.

1994

Murray again competed in the high jump at the 1994 Commonwealth Games at Victoria, finishing fourth on a countback with the bronze medallist Debbie Marti from England, after both athletes had a best height of 1.91 metres.

Following the 1994 Games, Murray moved to Melbourne for a time and concentrated on the triple jump.
