[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she trying to get an athletic scholarship, or just be on the team? Or is she just trying to demonstrate her well-roundedness?

All of the above, as much as possible.  I know it sounds like an open answer, but it is also the true one.  There are some schools which give scholarships for this activity.  There are schools which admit students preferentially to have them on the team.  There are schools that use this activity and the achievements within that activity to put that well-rounded "checkmark" on the resume.

I think her achievements up until now have met the "well-rounded" checkmark, which is why I think she should quit while she is ahead.

I don't know if her level would continue being good enough to "be on the team" or for preferential admission.

This makes no sense. They look for continued commitment to an activity for well-roundedness. Quitting wipes it out almost entirely. She may as well have not done it ever. I vote for powering through and not letting a growth spurt and fear of not being as good turn her off of an activity she otherwise loves. You don't have to be the best, or even good: you have to put yourself out there are do your best. Could make for a good introspective essay too: "The Year I was Benched."[/quote]
