Still in contention (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alive

'still in contention' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for alive that I've seen before include "full of vitality" , "Go or walk briskly" , "Breathing, existing" , "Not yet pushing up the daisies" , "Alert, active" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and the USA Today.
