Is there an advantage in applying ED to Williams?

Williams is probably my number one choice. I know there’s a significantly higher ED admission rate for Williams than RD, but I read online that most of the admitted ED students are recruited athletes, leaving actually a very limited number of openings for non-athletes. Is this true?

While I was on varsity cross country and track throughout high school, I’m not fast enough to be recruited. As xc/track was one of my main extracurriculars, would it be seen as less “valuable” than other extracurriculars (like music, debate, student gov) because I wasn’t recruited?
