"Worked on the state ACLU's post-9/11 Education Committee as a senior for a while. "

I'm sure that made your application stand out a great deal.
Your overall achievements fit what I suggested before as "excellent" ECs.

You have state/national awards for Quiz Bowl
An unusual state-level accomplishment in being on the state's education committee, which is a big accomplishment for a h.s. student

In addition, you have a very longterm commitment to athletics with strong leadership there, too.

Your ECs are clearly beyond what many students post who want to go to places like Ivies.
