In July, Gorman earned the first takedown in their Fargo final with an effective dump in the first ten seconds of the match. By the midway point, Vega had taken a 4-2 lead. The second period was all Vega. The Sunnyside, Arizona senior scored six more to earn a 10-2 victory.

Vega and Gorman's first meeting was a thrilling display of leg attacks and counter-scoring, and it will be fascinating to see how that action translates in an NCAA folkstyle ruleset. This rivalry will certainly continue at Who's Number One, but these two highly-successful wrestlers could do battle for years to come on the college ranks. Vega will move from Sunnyside High School in Arizona to Cornell next year, and Gorman will move from Buford, Georgia to Virginia Tech.
Drew Gorman has been on the national radar throughout his high school career, racking up podium spots (and sometimes earning the top spot) at top high school tournaments like Fargo, Super 32, and NHSCAs.
Sergio Vega has had similar success. In addition to his Fargo title this summer, Vega finished 3rd at the U20 World Team Trials, won titles at NHSCAs and the Reno TOC this year, and reached the Super 32 finals, knocking off Ohio State freshman Ben Davino along the way.
