For the second year in a row, the Battle of the Burets was hosted by SIU–Edwardsville. On Tuesday, February 16, 24 two-person teams from 10 area high schools competed in the event. Each student performed three titrations, and team scores were composites based on their accuracy. The student teams with the best scores received trophies and bragging rights for the year. Also for the second year in a row, a team from Mary Institute–Country Day School (MICDS) took top battlefield honors.
