Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

How to get the Storyboard position?

Storyboard has no such progress event to report progress value real time. However, it has GetCurrentTime method to get current animation time span. for example, if the duration of animation is 3s and the return value GetCurrentTime method is 1.5s, it means the animation progress is 50%. Unfortunately, it is not real time. you need call the method base on your design such as use a time to report value regularly.

 var timespan = DownAnimiationStoryboard.GetCurrentTime();  

Thank you.
