I’m a sophomore, on my schools varsity winter and spring track and field team. Practice is for two hours after school, so this prevents me from participating in that many academic clubs, seeing as they all meet right after school. I was wondering, what would look better? Two varsity sports (considering its winter AND spring track) with one or two academic clubs, or just one varsity sport (just spring) with multiple ECs?

Btw, i’m on Math League - Adv Math Division, Science League - Chem, Campus Ministry, Asian Club, and Jerseymens (paintballing, snow boarding, six flags, etc.), as well as participating in two major after school events that totaled around 250 hours combined (counted as campus min. and leadership hours) and around 100 service hours. If i drop winter track, I can take up in addition to those, College Bowl, Robotics, Astronomy, and Model UN, as well as tally around 500+ service hours per year.

So, 2 varsity sports or 1 varsity sport + more ECs?
