the town of Barstow reminds me a lot of my hometown, which though a little bit bigger, is also supported by a military base and has a large percentage minority and even larger percentage of poor people. we have a similar claim to fame but for girls track, something like 9 titles in 12 years and the coach has a couple national coach of the year titles.
