I’m just the mom of of a current cadet, so I’m really no expert, but it looks to me like you’re pretty well-rounded! You might want to consider taking the ACT since the academy will look at whichever test score is better. Also, make sure you really give it your all your senior year to get your GPA as high as possible, and when you apply, make your essays memorable! Good luck!
 
I'm not an admissions rep (just a sophomore at USAFA). You're application looks competitive, but there is never a guarantee of admission. Focus on gaining leadership positions in the sports teams and clubs/organizations that you're involved with (and stress those positions/what you did with them/how you lead, etc. on your application). Good luck!
