Competition participant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrant

(Other definitions for entrant that I've seen before include "Newcomer" , "One taking part in a race or competition" , "New participant" , "Competitor, contestant" , "One going in for a race or competition" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
