I think your chances are very good. Your GPA is great, SAT 2 scores too. Your SAT I scores are probably average for a place as selective as Georgetown, but I think your other qualities-especially being a state champion-will make up for them.

I got into Gtown with a 1400 (I think they only saw my old score even though I sent in my new one) so it's not like you won't get in because of your board scores. Check out the Gtown thread to see stats of others who got in.
