She provided excellent B string support in the Hammer, producing a personal best of 22.85m with the heavier implement to finish second. Griffiths also gave excellent B string support in the Discus, also placing second with her best throw of 26.39m. However Griffiths had her own moment of glory when she won the A competition of her more favoured Javelin, producing a new personal best of 33.24m, with the heavier implement. At the annual Tartan Games in her Under 17 age-group, Griffiths won the Javelin witha throw of 35.99m. She also competed in the Senior event, and threw the heavier implement 32.58m to finish second.
