<p>I have a specific question concerning sports as an extracurricular. I have been involved in cross-country since freshman year. I love running. I've gotten my varsity letter for 2 years. This year, our team is actually going to be good (have a chance at going to the State Meet). The coach takes 10 people there (7 actually run, other 3 are alternates). If I train really, really hard, I can have a chance at taking the #9 or #10 spot, and thus going to state. This would be such an awesome experience. However, I was wondering if there was any other benefit of doing this? I wouldn't be running at all, as I would be an alternate.
For those of you experienced athletes, could I still call myself a "State qualifier for varsity cross-country" on my college application?</p>
<p>if you’re coach is taking you then you qualify. so yes</p>
<p>if the app gives you room to describe the activity then you can tell some more about it like</p>
<p>“helped my team take (insert place here…1,2 ect) at state meet.”</p>
