YUP, if you want to be in the military, and you are dedicated to it, you have a good shot.
It's a competitive state, but you would be a good candidate, contact your local Academy Liason Officer (ALO) right away!
Good luck!!

You look like a very competitive applicant. Get started right away and remember, you are also competing for a nomination as well as an appointment.
4:30 mile. Wow. Maybe try for captain of the track team. Maybe try for the USAFA track team.

If you are interested, contact the track coach right away, and have all of your stats available. There is a contact sheet to fill out at usafa.edu

Yes, you have a pretty good shot. The only advice I'd give you is to keep your foot on the gas during your senior year. There's always one more thing you can do to make yourself more competitive (without overloading yourself). Keeping that attitude will also prevent senioritis, which can be a killer if you don't take steps to avoid it. Good luck and keep up the hard work!
