Tony Christnovich (1966-71)
Tony Christnovich played football during college and returned less than two decades later to coach with his former gridiron coach, Roger Harring. The Oak Creek, Wis., native arrived on campus with only one year of football experience. But he excelled on Memorial Field as an offensive tackle, lettering all four years.
Christnovich's play caught attention and he was drafted in the 12th round by the Washington Redskins in 1970.
Christnovich returned to campus in the late '80's to coach the defensive line under Harring for 16 years. During that tenure, the team earned 11 conference titles and two national championships (1992 and 1995).
Chrisnovich earned a bachelor's in physical education and biology in 1973 and a master's in education in 1981.
