would colleges rather look at lower gpas and more excurricular activities or high gpas and no excs

Answer 1

No one cares if you took an extra gym class in high school.  

Sustained dedicated to a sport (more than two years) can make a difference, but your GPA is more important.

Also, your unweighted GPA is more meaningful than your weighted GPA.  It is very hard to know what a 4.3 really means because schools weight differently.  Colleges focus on the unweighted GPA.

Answer 2

Colleges all recalculate every GPA (because different high schools weigh differently and include different things)  and the sport will be taken out along with other non academic classes for their purposes.
