Am I a match, or slight reach?

Arizona girl here.

GPA: 4.0 uw, 4.67 w
Rank: 1/55
SAT: 2400
SAT II: Bio E 800, Lit 800, taking math II and Latin

APs this year (none so far because my school doesn't offer; these are self-study):
Vergil, Latin Lit, English Lit, English Language, US Government, Macro, Micro, Physics B

Activities:
Speech and debate (cocaptain, 4 years)
Varsity cross-country (will be senior captain, 3 years)
Varsity track (3 years)
Junior Classical League (president, other positions, 4 years)
Science Bowl, first team (4 years)
Violin lessons (8 years- school has no orchestra, I just take lessons)
Peer tutoring (4 years)
Write and direct Nativity play at church (3 years)
Volunteer for homeless housing project at church (3 years)
Translated and directed Greek tragedy for school's drama club (this year)

Awards:

Academic: PSAT 236, will be National Merit candidate; paper on review for Concord Review (publishes high school history papers, accepts 8% of submissions); National History Day awards

Speech and debate: state finalist, Academic All-American, highest national recognition (quintuple ruby), qualified to Extemp. Tournament of Champions

Athletics: all-region in both, all-state in 3200m in track (for small schools), local road races (absolutely nowhere near good enough for division I, getting recruited in division III is the best I'm doing right now)

JCL: state certamen champion, oratory champion, exams, several essay contests

Summer:

Went to JHU-CTY before 9th and 10th grades
Studied abroad in Austria last year (genuine study, not vacation)
This summer, probably a museum internship or college class
