Vela registered a 4-0 record with four pins to win the 149-pound bracket at the Luther (Iowa) Open on Saturday. He posted three of his pins in under one minute, including one in 57 seconds against Cornell's Trevor Engle, the No. 1 ranked wrestler at 149 according to D3wrestle.com and No. 3 according to the National Wrestling Coaches Association. Vela pinned Wartburg's Mark Pinero, ranked ninth in Division III by the NWCA, in 29 seconds in the championship match.
