Was up (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

led

'was up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for led that I've seen before include "Took by the hand and showed the way" , "Shown the way" , "showed the way ahead" , "had the edge" , "Came first" .)

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