In the below instance, since you are referring to a distance and an event that has already taken place use past.

You can use; He is past the line or similarly, can use he has passed the line.

Hope this helps, clarify your point.

Peter you pleb, you made mistakes with your grammar. Even though I agree with "past" being used in the above sentence, you've lost credibility and have thus given Meera a reason to void your comment. So close! :(
