	I have not run on a track in many many years and have a silly question to ask. Are the new HS tracks still 1/4 mile or have they gone metric (400 meters)? Thx

	If I am not mistaken they are 440 meters. 440 meters equals 0.273403 mi. A little over a quarter of a mile.

	It really depends upon where you are. There are high school tracks that are 440 yards and there are ones that are 400 meters. I've run on both.
	Run to Win I just started using Twitter - anybody else on there? http://twitter.com/RunToWin

	Unless it was built in the last 10 years, most likely it's the good old 440 yards.
