How much will being an athletic recruit help in the admissions process?

I’m a junior and Vassar is my top choice. I’m a hurdler and I’ve spoken with the head track coach about running for Vassar. I haven’t been recruited yet because I haven’t filled out the recruit questionnaire. However, I highly anticipate that I will be.

To give you an idea of why, Vassar’s school record in the 110m hurdles is 18.65. I run in the high 15’s.

However, I feel like it may not help very much at Vassar because of the lack of a focus on athletics. Am I right? I’m also applying early decision.
