A lot of colleges are impressed if you continue in the same language throughout high school. A lot even require you to take two years of the same language. If you are continuing to take the higher level class in Spanish, I think that would actually look better, because it shows commitment to Spanish.

I don't think it will. Colleges are looking for people who dig into there interests, not those trying to impress. Just work on being the best you that is what they look for.
