Was ahead of everyone else (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

led

'was ahead of everyone else' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for led that I've seen before include "Came first" , "Took by the hand and showed the way" , "Was guiding" , "Conducted" , "Went ahead" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time, the Universal and the Newsday.
