Winning national competitions is rarer and demonstrates a drive to succeed.
Meanwhile, there are far too many student leaders (class prez, class treasurer, founder of hang-gliding club, etc) In most school, probably a fifth of students have some leadership position.

I think the former is certainly more impressive.
