Miss New Jersey USA 2023 Derby Chukwudi • Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivasava
Take a look back at Miss Indiana USA results from the 1990s to the 2022 crownings of Samantha Toney and KK Kokonaing. In recent years Indiana has been a tough state for newcomers to crack, with many contestants, including Samantha, finishing as a runner-up many times before winning. However there are some that came close without quite nabbing the crown – Destiny Dever and Alexis Ginn are two recent contestants that were perennial finalists.
