outjumping
Exceeding in leaps
Outjumping is surpassing someone or something in a jump—going higher, farther, or with better form: The young buck was outjumping every rival for the doe's attention.
Athletes outjump opponents in basketball, high jump, or show jumping.
The word applies wherever jumping determines success: Our frog kept outjumping the competition.
