Duquesne freshman and former North Allegheny multi-sport athlete Isabella Costa has been named to the Atlantic 10 Indoor Track  All-Rookie Team for her efforts on the Bluff this winter.

Costa was one of three Dukes named to the team on Wednesday, a new program record.

Costa garnered All-Rookie honors after recording the top long jump mark among Atlantic 10 freshmen. Her leap of 5.90 meters (19-4.25) at the YSU Mid-Major Invitational ranks third in program history and earned Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week honors.  At the A-10 Indoor Championships, Costa scored in three events, placing sixth in the pentathlon, seventh in the high jump and contributing to a fifth-place finish in the 4×400-meter relay.

The Duquesne Outdoor Track and Field schedule begins this weekend at the 49er Classic in Charlotte, North Carolina.
