Mihalcea began her professional career in the high jump. She attained the top of the national stage with wins in the Romanian Athletics Championships in 1983 and 1985, where she competed in the event against Niculina Vasile, and Alina Astafei. Her best was 1.94 m (6 4/4 in ft) in 1985. She later hit a career-high in the height of 1.96 m (6 5 feet 5 inches) during 1987. This took her to 13th place on the list of seasonal rankings (her highest score ever in the event). The high-jumping career she had gotten into ended after she was barred from the sport for 2 years. International Amateur Athletics Federation for having tested negative for steroids banned from the sport.

After her release from the doping ban she turned her attention to the pole vault that was becoming a popular event for women (thought not yet a part of international programs). She set the standard for Romanian women, winning her first national title offered in the sport between 1991 until 1993. Her improvement was steady, reaching 3.70 meters (12 feet 1 and 2 inches) in 1993, and then 3.82 meters (12 6 ft 4 in) during 1994. She was barely in the top ten in the world in this time. She jumped four metres for the very first time in 1995, and did this both indoors and out. She lost her national record to Gianina Rusu in the same year.

The women’s pole vault gradually began to be incorporated into major competitions and the standard of the athletes improved. Mihalcea neared four metres in qualifying at the 1997 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but did not make the first ever women’s final at the championship. Mihalcea improved her best to 4.10 m (13 ft 5 ⁄4 in) that season. The 1998 season saw her become the inaugural champion at the Balkan Indoor Athletics Championships and she also won the 1998 Balkan Athletics Championships title in a championship record of four metres (succeeding the initial champion Tania Koleva of Bulgaria). She returned to the peak of Romanian vaulting in this same period, with national titles in 1998 and 1999. She debuted at the 1998 European Athletics Championships and was among the leading entrants with a new best of 4.20 m (13 ft 9 ⁄4 in). She managed 4.15 m (13 ft 7 ⁄4 in) in the first European outdoor final, but this was only enough for fourth as Anzhela Balakhonova, Nicole Humbert and Yvonne Buschbaum shared the podium with equal marks of 4.31 m (14 ft 1 ⁄2 in), which would have been a world record just three years earlier.
