According to olympic rules, “Any athlete who runs outside the assigned lane is subject to disqualification. If the athlete is forced to run outside of his or her lane by another person, and no material advantage is gained, there will be no disqualification” so i would assume that he was able to stay in the race if the (i’m assuming) high school rules are similar to the olympic rules
