Please excuse my ignorance.
On a High School quarter mile track with 6 lanes - which lane is a quarter mile?
Thanks,
Itchy

the very inside line (not lane) on the track should be 400m long, a quarter mile is about 402m, so just running a little towards the outside of the very first lane or the inside of the seconf will be quarter mile.

If you are talking about a 440 yard track, just run on the inside of the first lane should be a quarter mile.

Either way, lane one.
