<p>Plan your classes carefully for the next two years. Make sure you are taking challenging classes - aim for the highest level your school offers.
Hopefully you can plan your math so that you will have taken Calculus or at least Pre-Calculus. Try to fit in two years of Chemistry if your school offeres it - Honors chem (with lab) and chem II or AP Chem.</p>

Honestly, I am not sure about the “couldn’t” part. Life is all about picking and choosing priorities. I am sure if running was your passion you would have fit it in some way. Keep in mind that West Point loves athletes and scholars. It seems you have the scholar part - not sure about the athlete part.<br>
One more bit of advice - don’t stretch yourself too thin. Don’t join a bunch of “stuff” so that you might be an officer. Pick one or two things and do them well, with passion. Be really involved.
Keep up your studies - high school gets significantly harder the junior and senior year.
Good Luck</p>
