I don’t think you have strong enough of EC’s to really stand out at like HYPS considering it doesn’t seem you’re good enough to get recruited based off your athletics. I looked into TASP and it seems like a strong program but idk if colleges would be impressed by TASP since it seems to just be like a summer school. Of course, it’s a crapshoot and you could get in, but nothing about your EC’s really stand out. I think the thing that would help the most is your URM hook.
