<p>SWOYERSVILLE &#8212; Kyle Suponcic and Kelsey Cameron ran to their first victories in the 5th annual Susquehanna River Runners Club&#8217;s 2 Mile Run on Saturday at Murphy&#8217;s Pub.</p><p>Suponcic, 27, of Shavertown, ran away with the field of over 50 runners, breaking the tape in 10 minutes and 39 seconds. Branden Goff, 23, of Plymouth, finished second, 1:19 behind Suponcic.</p><p>&#8220;I was running just for time today,&#8221; said Suponcic, &#8220;I wanted to run under 10:30 or a 5:15 pace (per mile). I was on pace over the first mile. But I kind of fell apart over the second mile. But I was running by myself. And when you&#8217;re running alone with nobody pushing you, there is only so much you can do. But it went well. And I was happy.&#8221;</p><p>Suponcic ran cross country and track for Misericordia University, where he was part of medal winning relay teams (4x8, 4x4) in All-MAC competition.</p><p>Cameron, 26, of Pringle, won top female honors, finishing 5th overall in 12:14. Emily Bell, 34, of Bear Creek Township, finished second among the females and 7th overall, 10 seconds behind Cameron. Eryn Milius, 32, of Dallas, finished third among the women and 8th overall, eight seconds behind Bell.</p><p>&#8220;I hammered the downhill (the race starts on a downhill) right from the start,&#8221; said Cameron. &#8220;I used the downhill as momentum to carry me through the rest of the race.&#8221;</p><p>Like Suponcic, Cameron ran cross country and track for Misericordia, where she won All-Conference honors. She was the MAC champ in the 800 meter run on the indoor track.</p><p>Bell won female overall honors in three races last year: River Street 3 Mile Run and the Benjamin August Memorial 3 Mile Run, both at the Wilkes-Barre JCC; and the Wyoming Valley Striders Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Foot Race. On June 3, Bell finished second among the females in the 40th annual West Pittston Anthracite 4 Mile Run, clocking in at 27:13 &#8212; 12 seconds behind the winner, 19-year-old Kate Reilly of Moosic.</p><p>Milius played forward on the Sayre High School soccer team.</p><p>Steve Walski, 35, of West Wyoming, who finished fourth in the 2 miler, won the inaugural Navient Ladders and Laces 5K Run last year. He repeated as champ in that race again this year.</p><p>Leo Kolshorn, 43, of Hawley, won top male masters (40 years of age and older) honors, finishing 3rd overall in 11:58. And Kerry Potter, 44, of Kingston &#8212; in action for the first time in over a year-and-a-half following hip surgery &#8212; won female masters honors, clocking in at 14:40.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Susquehanna River Runners Club&#8217;s </strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>5th annual 2 Mile Run results</strong></p><p><strong>Top 5 finishers</strong></p><p>Kyle Suponcic, 27, Shavertown, 10:39</p><p>Branden Goff, 23, Plymouth, 11:57</p><p>Leo Kolshorn, 43, Hawley, 11:58</p><p>Steve Walski, 35, W.
