Costello, a non-smoker, was diagnosed with an advanced stage of lung cancer June 2009 and, after bravely battling the disease for a year, passed away in June 2010. Despite undergoing numerous chemotherapy treatments, she coxed Cal to the Pac-10 championship and a runner-up NCAA finish in May 2010. Costello was named the Pac-10 Athlete of the Year, and she graduated with a degree in political economy after making the Pac-10 All-Academic second team.
