Many people enter events that are not their specialty. There are some world class throwers who enter jumping or running events just because they are already out there so what the heck. A jumper is not going to risk putting 100% into a sprint, knowing they could get injured and not be able to jump.
The state games are taken a little more seriously, as every other year you are qualifying for Nationals.
Here is a link to the 2017 state games results

Also, keep in mind that the participants aren't necessarily Villages residents. Some people come from all over the southeast or outside the country.
