No one from Montana made it into the class of 2011, if I'm not mistaken, which would seem to give you a diversity edge.

Not only diversity, but it definately isn't easy to be #1 from a class of over 700, which is insanely large.

Single mom and sister in college should definately help with financial aid, but princeton is awesome with financial aid anyways. I don't know what impact that would have on admission, except perhaps the single mom aspect creating some sort of difficulty in your life. You ACT score is right within range, SAT IIs perhaps a bit low, but nothing to worry about. Your communty service and ECs seem interesting, especially if in your app you are able to elaborate on what you did in these activities. Sports awards too is pretty cool for such a high rank. Perfect GPA obviously. And good course selection.

However could you specify which classes are Higher Level or Standard Level?

Because you already took the IB math and spanish test im guessing those were standard level?

I wish you the best of luck fellow IB Diploma student.
