Partially true.
On average, a high school xc team alone will have the highest GPA avg. compred to any other athletic team in that school.
What has become evident, is that a sport like swimming and long distance running where you need tot train year 'round, requires time-management. Therefore, students that have more time on their hands(i.e. sprinters) who do not have to train all year long tend to put things off, since they have alot of time. The long distance runner, wrestler, swimmer etc, that are expected to train all year, tend to become better students due to their need for time management

From the quality of your post I take it you are a sprinter.
That Born to Run is a good book.
My King's Amber is 10.5 inches long. Ok, you got me, it's only 10.49.

- "I wish I was born naturally fast like you"(they disregard the 70+ mile weeks that I run)
- "Of course he's going to run faster on his PT test than me, his legs are MUCH longer" (I'm 6'2)
- "He can run his 1.5 mile real fast but I bet he couldn't carry me in a war zone" (I'm the only military member in my wing to score a 100 on the PT test. You need 67 pushups in a minute, 58 situps in a minute and 9:06 for 1.5 mile run. On top of that I can still bench press 255, being one of the stronger members of the group. And if you lost some eff'ing weight and got down to a reasonable size, maybe I could carry you in a war zone)
That's a little different than how it worked when I was in the Army (mid 90s). I was one of the 300 guys (max PFT), however our standards were something like 80 pushups in 2 min, 80 situps in 2 min, and 11:54 2 mile. Those are max scores, I think the mins were around 50/50/16:00. I'm kind of surprised that I was able to run 10:50 to 11:10 two miles on what was likely 12 to 15 miles per week (and every one was basically hammer the guys in the A group into the ground).

When I was in the Army an 18 yo male had to do 82 push-ups i n 2 min, 92 sit-ups in 2 min, and a 2 mile run in 11:54 for a max score of 300. I scored 296 cause I couldn't max the run.
