On the weekend of January 10, RIT wrestling attended the 21st Annual Budd Whitehill National Dual Tournament at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. RIT won the tournament at the end of the weekend due to the outstanding performance of the team, but, more specifically, the efforts of Mike McInally, a third year Manufacturing Engineering Technology major, and fourth year Accounting major Luke Baum. McInally is currently ranked fourth in Division III in his weight class, while Baum is ranked sixth in his.

The next meet the wrestling team has is at the 2009 New York State wrestling championships at SUNY Oswego. Three students — McInally, Baum, and third year Accounting major Jason Wake — are still in competition for the championships.
