Monitor and deal with running and jumping? (5,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

track and field

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jumping?' is the definition.
(jumping is a kind of track and field)

'monitor and deal with' is the wordplay.
'monitor' becomes 'track' (I've seen this in another clue).
'deal with' becomes 'field' (I've seen this before).
'track'+'and'+'field'='TRACK-AND-FIELD'

'running and' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for track and field that I've seen is " Description of events".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
