I agree, many people write about their sports experience, it isn’t a unique essay topic. Your rigor of classes is good, I don’t know what that gpa means in 4.0 terms but it looks decent, and you have decent extracurriculars. I just re-read your post about the Spanish V, and I would like to note that while it is impressive that you are the first in 5 years, at my school Spanish isn’t AP until VI, so I wouldn’t bank on this Spanish V AP as being the determining factor in establishing what makes you academically impressive. I would try to get some leadership positions and some academic awards, and maybe think of another essay topic, unless you have something that will make your sports narrative different from others. Other than that, I think you have an ok chance.
