Run off to get sprinter? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'run off' is the first definition.
(I know that run off can be written as bolt)

'sprinter?' is the second definition.
(runner Usain Bolt)

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Find a bar" , "Short arrow for a crossbow" , "Run away; fasten (door)" , "Eat hurriedly" , "Lock - run away - gobble - lightning flash - cloth roll" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
