1. "Your" should be "their" to agree in case and number with the antecedent "All students" (third person, plural).
2. "Increasingly" is confusing. If it is supposed to modify the verb "sparked" then it is (and should be) an adverb, but its placement causes confusion. I would move it before "sparked" for clarity. However, it could also be intended to modify the noun "interest," in which case it should be an adjective, so the "ly" needs to be dumped.
3. Since there are only two football players, "heaviest" needs to be changed to "heavier" (comparative for two whereas "heaviest" is superlative, which requires that three or more items are being compared).
4. This needs to be changed to "Neither the immigration officials nor the wildlife conservationists have been able to find a solution that will protect both the U.S. border and these endangered wildcats." All I did was move the "have" to be next to "been." Just for ease of reading, I also added "the" before "wildlife," but that could be left out.
5. Do not capitalize "aunt." It should only be capitalized when it is used as a name (i.e. NOT preceded by a pronoun like "my"). Also, since "university" is part of the official name, it needs to be capitalized. If it just said "a university in California", no capital would be needed. In addition, "valley" is part of the place name, so it needs a capital, too.
6. Neither "autumn" nor "season" is a proper noun, so neither should be capitalized. However, "New England" is a place name, so "New" needs the capital.
7. The sentence is correct. If the second clause had been independent instead of dependent (i.e. had a noun or pronoun subject), you would have needed a comma after "air," like: The ball spiraled through the air, and it landed at Rob's feet.
8. This one is correct, too. (However, to be completely honest, I desperately want to delete the first comma, but I think current grammar rules would say that the phrase "who study hard" can be left out and still have the sentence make sense, so it can be considered parenthetical, which requires the commas.)
9. Change the second semicolon after "yet" to a comma.
