Her performance in the competition lead her to the semifinals, in which she hit a block inside the ice and was thrown off her balance.
She regained her composure, but was too far behind to catch up and finished fourth only advancing the Final B of the competition.
Griswold then finished fourth in Final B as well and found herself a part of a three-skater crash.
The Fairfield native's next outing is set to take pale on Saturday in which she will skate in the 1000M speed skating event.
