University of Wisconsin-Stout Athletics

A two-sport standout, Carita Goines was a four-year basketball letter winner and could be the best sprinter in Stout women's track history, winning five conference outdoor track titles. Goines won the grueling WWIAC 400-meter dash title three times, 1992, 1993, and 1994, and twice captured the 200-meter title, in 1992 and 1994. She was runner-up in the event in 1993. A three-time NCAA Division III All-American, Goines was the 400-meter national runner-up in 1993 and 1994, and a 1994 All-American in the 200. Goines holds, or is a part of, seven school sprinting records. As a member of the Blue Devil basketball team, Goines only competed in track and field during the outdoor season because the basketball season overlapped the indoor season. On the basketball court, Goines was three-times Stout's most valuable defensive player and was selected in 1994 to the WWIAC all-defensive team. Goines, a native of Minneapolis, Minn., currently resides in New Market, Minn., along with her husband, Alvin Green, and their twin children, a son, Alvin, and daughter, Kendyl.
