    Hartung, who had been assistant coach at the school located east of Minneapolis-St. Paul, replaces Rich Keller as head coach, according to The Guillotine, which covers wrestling in the state of Minnesota.

    Hartung made a name for himself on the wrestling mat for Minnesota. Under long-time head coach J Robinson, the Durand, Wis. native was a two-time NCAA champ (190 pounds in 1998, 197 in 1999), the first Golden Gopher to earn back-to-back national titles since Verne Gagne 50 years earlier. Hartung was also a three-time Big Ten champion. While at Minnesota, Hartung was teammates with current Minnesota head coach Brandon Eggum, and Brock Lesnar, larger-than-life former UFC and WWE champ.

    Hartung was named Minnesota's male recipient of the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1999. In 2010, the former Gopher was welcomed into the "M" Club Hall of Fame.

    Hartung launched his coaching career at Minnesota, serving as an assistant coach for a half-decade. In subsequent years he has coached at middle and high schools in metropolitan Twin Cities.
