<p>You'll find out once college app time rolls around. Though a lot of it probably depends on the rest of the application. Like if your friend's already won nationals in speech state awards won't look as impressive (to take an extreme example). Or if you seem like an academic type the captaincy might be a "wow" factor -- (smart and athletic too? next you're going to be telling me you won prom king.)</p>

<p>I suppose there really are no consequences for being mean online if most of your posts get deleted by mods anyway. It's like a handy "edit" button that works after twenty minutes have elapsed. :)</p>
<p>I should try to get myself banned.

<p>In my opinion, the two time state championship in speech is more impressive because I've been in speech and I know how difficult it is to get to the top. It's not just competing against your own team to be the best, it's competing against those in your region, qualifying for the state tournament, and then to beat out everyone at states - that's a big deal.</p>
<p>I agree with whoever said both. Obviously that'd be the most impressive but that'll be way too hard. =P</p>
<p>IDK, IMO, I think winning state-wide debate competitions will be more impressive...like someone else also said, there's a Varsity team captain for every school that has a soccer program, but there's probably not that many state-wide debate winners. But being a team captain is still whoawhoawhoa. =]</p>
<p>Lol speech is more than academic...I'm captain and asst. coach of my team, as are a lot of my friends from other schools. It's given me quite a bit of experience not only teaching younger kids but jumping through the bureaucratic hoops of the NFL lolll :-D</p>

<p>prom king has nothing to do with college admissions.</p>
<p>All the people that put their senior superlatives on college apps are either conceited, immature, or foolish. Nobody cares if u are "best dressed" or have the "best smile"</p>
<p>seems like..your friend made better achievement..
Being captain in soccer team is undoubtly important too,,
but state achievement , its state-wide.</p>
<p>^ yah. the coach is nice, so all the seniors that stay get to be captains</p>
<p>(there aren't many seniors at my school that stay for soccer by senior year)</p>
<p>if there are like 20 seniors though, he'd probably only let a third of them be captain.</p>
<p>im actually a really crappy leader. i don't say anything, and i don't encourage my teammates, but i got elected as the captain because i'm one of the better soccer players.</p>
<p>but... i can still say that im a varsity soccer captain on my application, right? like, i don't need to describe it, right? because i really don't jut out or anything. a captain is a captain is a captain.</p>
<p>and grades are grades are grades are more important than your varsity soccer captain if yours are worse than your friends. and if they're better, good for you! </p>
<p>i'd go with your friend's speech accolades though, because he's won them twice, plus it's statewide. that's a much bigger pool of possible winners than a captain from a pool of 20 or something, no matter how you look at it.</p>
<p>The state debate championship wins over varsity soccer captain hands-down. I was captain of the varsity tennis team at my school and this is how it worked; coach says "who wants to be the captain?" I was the only one to raise my hand, so I became the captain. Where is the skill in that??</p>
