Kyle Adams also finished third with a time of 15:08.18 in the 5000m run. The Pios assembled a 4x400 team of River Sterud, Jacob Radovan, Sawyer Caves, and Ethan Weber that finished sixth.
 
In throws, Hermsen put up three more victories to his season total, winning the hammer with a throw of 55.85m, the discus with a toss of 54.64m, and the shot put with a distance of 15.75m.
