Do these ECs have much weight?

All of the comments are great and helpful.

She is on the teams for volleyball and track. Basketball was dropped this year due to her demanding schedule. She is not really much of an athlete (not captain, regional champion, etc.) I’m wondering if just being on the team has much weight.

Sue22 - Her physical development portion of the CA is for discus.

All of the previous posts has made me take a second look at some of her activities. She attended Writer’s Ink in Boston this summer and that has inspired her to write some short stories. One story was posted on a writing website, but she hasn’t received any awards or distinction.

This line of thinking brings up another question. Does an activity with no “measurable” accolades have any merit in the eyes of admissions?
