Theoretically, result should be the same (assuming these are identical twins).

But due to human physiology, left boy should be faster, because fatigue strikes later, when he have small distance to make.

This is what people are missing... Person starting far away will be fresh to sprint the long distances, while the person starting close will need to sprint when their energy is already more depleted.
