A weekly Head of the Class rankings article will breakdown Virginia's best by grade level to see where athletes match up against their peers in the same graduation class. Nansemond River's Zakiya Rashid (pictured above by Ryan Kelly) has been putting out some impressive marks during her freshmen year in the throws. Last weekend at CNU, Rashid was runner-up to state champion thrower Kiara Howell of Grassfield in the shot put and discus with personal best marks of 39'5" and 128'6" respectively.
