The total number of laps Steven ran is:

14 1/3 + 4 = 57/3 + 12/3 = 69/3 = 23 laps

The distance Steven sprinted is 14 1/3 laps, which is equivalent to:

43/3 laps

The distance Steven jogged is 4 laps, which is equivalent to:

12/3 laps

Therefore, the difference between the distance Steven sprinted and jogged is:

43/3 - 12/3 = 31/3

So, Steven sprinted 31/3 laps farther than he jogged.

Thus, the answer is 31/3 laps.
