Hey! Second best in sports ain't half bad, unless there are only two of you in sports!

Do you think the young lady prefers a super-jock with limted brain power? It sounds like you are pretty "jocky" yourself, but you got a little whizzo on the books to go with it. And, hey, I'm a guy too, and I do a little poetry on the side. My lady does not give me a lot of encouragment about it either.

Without telling the girl that you love her, you might see if you can cultivate just a bit more of a relationship with her as a classmate or friend. Maybe you can tell whether even further effort will be worth it.

But, guy, you have a lot to offer. In a relationship, there needs to be more than feelings, affection, and sexual attraction. You may not want to hear this right now, but I'm going to go ahead and say that maybe there's another girl who would appreciate more the strong points about you.
