Too many extracurriculars for Stanford?

Hi, I'm an incoming senior and in the middle of the college research process. Out of all the colleges I have looked at, Stanford is definitely my favorite. I have a 3.99 GPA and am 2nd in my cl of 567. I have plenty community service hours, and I am not worried about the interview or the essay. The only thing that I'm worried is the possibility of having too many extracurriculars... I'm in Cross Country, Swimming, Track and field, NHS, Student Council, Science Olympiad, Math Team, and Spanish National Honors Society. I would say I'm successful and put depth in each activity: I'm the captain for Cross-Country, Swimming, Track, math team, science olympiad, and I'm a service officer for NHS. I went to state in swimming, sections for cross country and track, competed in the state tourney in math team in science olymipiad. My question is: will colleges like stanford intrepret the big list of activities negatively and see it as me only trying to pad my application? I feel pionate about all of these activities, so i hope that's not the case. Thank you!
