Cleared a hurdle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leapt

'cleared a hurdle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for leapt that I've seen before include "moved up quickly" , "gone up dramatically" , "Jumped a long way" , "Bounded, sprang" , "Vaulted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal, the Newsday.com, The Washington Post, the USA Today and the LA Times.
