The Atlantic 10 Indoor Track and Field Championships concluded over the weekend, with Duquesne University's track and field team securing seventh place in the overall standings.

In the pentathlon, Costa placed sixth, contributing essential points to her team's tally. She also achieved a season-best height of 1.64 meters (5 feet 4.5 inches) in the high jump, earning seventh place in that individual event. Additionally, Costa was part of the 4x400-meter relay squad, which recorded a season-best time of 3:50.18 and finished fifth.
These performances mark a strong debut indoor season for Costa and the Duquesne program. With the NCAA indoor track and field season now complete, the Dukes are preparing for the outdoor schedule. Their next competition is the 49er Classic, set for March 20 and 21 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Costa's contributions underscore the depth of talent on the Duquesne roster, as the team builds momentum heading into spring events.
