Miss Indiana USA & Teen USA 2016 results recap

Morgan Abel has finally won the Miss Indiana USA title - on her fifth attempt - and Lauren Boswell, fourth runner-up last year, is the new Miss Indiana Teen USA!

Morgan was Miss Indiana Teen USA 2008 and will be the third 2008 Teen to represent Indiana at Miss USA.  The two previous titleholders were Jillian Wunderlich, Miss FL Teen USA 2008 & Miss IN USA 2011 and Megan Myrehn, Miss VA Teen USA 2008 & Miss IN USA 2012.  Morgan is the twelfth former Teen to win this year, equalling the record set in 2014 - we still have plenty of opportunity to see the record broken.  She is the first Indiana Teen to win their Miss title since 2009.

All four of the returning 2015 Miss runners-up made the top five again this year.  First runner-up was Darrian Arch, Miss Indiana Teen USA 2013 - the first time Indiana has had two former Teens in the final two since 2003 (although this year they didn't have the final two holding hands - what a shame!).  Second runner-up was Brittany Winchester, fourth runner-up last year, third runner-up was 2015 1RU Alexis Ginn and in her final year, Destiny Dever placed fourth runner-up, her sixth top five placement.  

First runner-up in the Teen division was newcomer Alexa Marasovich.  Second runner-up went to newcomer Holyn Huizinga, who was a semi-finalist the past two years.  Third runner-up was 2015 non-finalist Bailey Perez.  Fourth runner-up was another newcomer, Shannon Donoho.  Last year's second runner-up Anna Garry made the top seven.
