Earlier this month, Minot State women’s wrestling coach Brittney Mitchem introduced Nina Sandoval as the inaugural member of the Beavers program.

Now Sandoval has a teammate.

Minot State’s head coach, Mitchem, is pleased to announce that Carolyn Goebel from Mandan, North Dakota, has signed a National Letter-of-Intent and becomes the second member of the Beaver women’s wrestling program, which begins competition in the 2022-23 academic year.

“Carolyn is a great kid and will work very hard for us,” coach Mitchem said. “I am excited to get the chance to coach her and have a local athlete join our team.”

The senior at Mandan High School who wrestles at 130 pounds will be a freshman in the classroom and on the mats next academic year for the Beavers. Goebel is a two-time state placer and member of the North Dakota Girls National Team who also was a contender at the Fargo Nationals this past year. She also is a captain of her wrestling team who also serves as a youth coach in her spare time.
