Finishing 14 seconds ahead of Singapore Sports School's Amanda Tam, Yeo smashed Cheryl Lim's 2011 meet record by three seconds. In the heats of the 100-metre breaststroke, Yeo was the fastest qualifier in a meet record time of 1:12.58, eclipsing Cheryl Lim's 1:14.06 set in 2011. In the final, Yeo clocked a time of 1:11.65 but was disqualified for executing alternating kicks. The time would have been a new meet record and gold medal. Devastated by the result, she told The Straits Times that it was the third time this year that she been disqualified for her kicks.

Three months later, she won gold in the 4 × 100-metre medley relay with Lynette Ng, Tao Li and Mylene Ong at the 2010 Hong Kong International Open, where she also won bronze in the 100-metre breaststroke.

She said "I was devastated because when I got injured, we were on the verge of giving up these SEA Games for the good of my long-term competitive future. We had just two weeks of training and it took a toll on me not just physically but also mentally, because there was also the fear of a recurrence of the injury."
