Not the expert, but I'll imagine my opinion matters anyway...they are probably good enough though not stellar
Here are the goals as posted on the USAFA website (I don't know what the GOAL actually means, the website suggests the GOAL is the average):
Basketball Throw: 69ft..........EXCEEDS
Pull Ups: 12......MEETS
Shuttle: 8.1.......MEETS
Push Ups: 62....BELOW
Sit-ups: 81........BELOW
Mile: 6:29..........BELOW
If I were your uncle, I would tell you to work on setups, pushups and run more and get the mile time down to 6:30 minimum if you have time.
Thant being said, CFA is a small portion of the overall score. I don't think your scores are going to put you ahead of anyone, but I don't think its going to be the reason you don't get in either. Your extracurriculars and GPA are pretty much baked at this point, but can you put time in to improving your SAT/ACT scores?

You'll pass. If you're really concerned (imo you shouldn't be) reach out to admissions counselor and ask. They'll tell you if you failed / which events you failed if any.

My son tested last year, his scores were
Basketball Throw: 69'
Pull-ups: 12
Shuttle Run: 8.1 seconds
Sit-ups: 80
Push-ups: 65
1 mile run: 8:30
He was disqualified by the academy, after they allowed him to retest. Everyone is different, we attended a nomination party held by the local USAFA families, and actually heard cadets state "I could barely do a single pull-up when I arrived at the academy." They were still granted an appointment, just stay positive contact the academy if you are really concerned, and even if you do not get in this year, you know what needs to be fixed so work at it and reapply. My son was one of 2600 HS students blessed with an AFROTC scholarship, but he has reapplied to USAFA and worked out 4 days a week to nail the CFA. You can to, just keep working at it, it is only failure if you let it beat you. Good luck to you and all your endeavors.
