outjump

Beat by leaping

To outjump is to jump higher or farther than someone else: She outjumped every competitor in the long jump.

The word applies literally in athletics and to animals—a kangaroo might outjump a dog—and figuratively to any context where leaping ability matters: The smaller forward consistently outjumped defenders for rebounds.
