Reindl said the track program is doing well and he is committed to putting the Huskies back on the podium.
He replaces Joanne McTaggart, who has coached the team in a part-time capacity since 2008.
Reindl was a member of the last Huskies track team to win a national championship back in 2005.
Last summer, the University of Saskatchewan decided to move their soccer, wrestling and track coaches into full-time roles.
