Yes, some events have so few entrants that the results can be quite surprising.

I ran the 1,500m one year and there were eight of us in it, ranging in ages from 55 to 85, so the times ranged from five minutes to over twice that

The good thing is that you can enter whichever events you like without feeling embarrassed about finishing last - people are generally more interested in their times than their placing.
