Sierra Vista Invitational
Template:InvitationalInfoBox The Sierra Vista Invitational, previously known as the Jeffrey Trail Invitational and Kraemer Invitational, is an invitational tournament held at Portola High School in Irvine, CA and hosted by Sierra Vista Middle School. Its first invitational was held on January 9th, 2016. Besides the host schools, other notable attendees include Northern California state champions and 2019 National Tournament champions Kennedy Middle School, previous Southern California state champions Oak Valley Middle School, as well as Highlands Intermediate School and Iolani School, the perennial top two teams in Hawaii. The invitational team recruits test writers from all over the nation, many of whom have earned a medal in that event at Nationals, to ensure that the quality of the tests is up to high standards. The tournament is mostly run by volunteers from all around Southern California, mainly Troy High School, Sunny Hills High School, and the hosts Portola High School.
