Grieveson finished third behind
Maeve Kyle in the 440 yards event at the
1961 WAAA Championships and second behind
Jean Sorrell in the same event at the
1962 WAAA Championships. During the same year of 1962, she won the silver medal in the women's 400 metres at the
1962 European Athletics Championships in
Belgrade,
Yugoslavia, having taken a week's leave from work to compete. She came in behind
Maria Itkina of the Soviet Union, and ahead of
Tilly van der Made of the Netherlands. She also represented
England in the 220 and 880 yards, at the
1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in
Perth, Western Australia. Grieveson became the
national 440 yards champion after winning the British
WAAA Championships title at the
1963 WAAA Championships and then represented
Great Britain in the 1964
Tokyo Olympics, and was one of the favourites, but a hamstring injury hampered her chances and she only reached the semi-final. She retired from athletics after her second Commonwealth Games, where she competed for the
England team in the 440 yards at the
1966 Commonwealth Games. Grieveson married
Darlington F.C. footballer
Stan Watson in 1967. == References ==
