Mary-Sophie Harvey has announced she will be scratching the 200 IM final tonight along with the remainder of the meet due to illness.

In a story posted to her Instagram, Harvey said “Unfortunately, I’ve had to withdraw from tonight’s 200 IM final.

I’ve been dealing with some health issues since the start of the meet and have been doing everything I could to push through. After discussing it with my family, coaches, and the medical staff at Swimming Canada, we all felt that prioritizing my health was the right decision.

I’m really disappointed, especially because I was hoping to finish this meet on a better note. Thank you to everyone who has supported and cheered me on all week, and to Swimming Canada for their support throughout this difficult time. I wish I could have given you one last race that reflected the level I know I’m capable of.

Thank you for understanding. Now it’s time to focus on recovering.”

Harvey finished 2nd in the 200 IM prelims, stopping the clock in 2:15.22 to be just one hundredth behind Ella Jansen‘s 2:15.21 in 1st.

With Summer McIntosh withdrawing from the meet yesterday, also due to illness, the 200 IM event win is wide open and would have been an excellent opportunity to qualify for the Pan Pacs team as the event winner, since Harvey has not yet earned a priority 1-3 qualification. She finished 2nd in the 200 fly, and could be added to the team as priority 4, depending on how qualification shakes out.

She scratched the 100 free, 1500 free, 100 fly, throughout the meet already. She swam the 200 fly, finishing 2nd (2:10.25), and the 400 IM (4:43.26). She is still entered in the 100 breaststroke tomorrow, but will likely be scratching that as well.

Other Night 4 Scratches:

• Women’s 200 IM — Reina Liu (7th seed), Sienna Angove (9th seed)
• Men’s 50 Freestyle — Ruslan Gaziev (2nd seed)
