The owner of four school records (Discus, Weight Throw, Indoor Shot Put, Outdoor Shot Put), Hermsen is a two-time Outdoor National Scholar Field Athlete of the Year, while also earning Division-III Track All-American of the Year in 2022. He is a four-time CCIW Champion, earning the conference's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Meet three times.
