Miss Indiana FAS 2026
London Brookes
London Brooks is a senior at Hanover College pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a concentration in Rhetoric and minors in Business and Sociology on the pre-law pathway. A collegiate athlete and point guard for the Hanover College Women’s Basketball Team, London has spent her college career leading both on and off the court through service, advocacy, and campus leadership.
London’s platform, Level Up: Access, Opportunity, and Visibility for Women’s Sports, is deeply personal to her journey as a student-athlete. Inspired by her experiences competing in women’s athletics and researching gender inequities in sports media and NIL opportunities, she is committed to advocating for greater visibility, resources, and support for female athletes at every level.

As Miss Indiana FAS, London hopes to inspire young women to embrace every part of who they are, strong, intelligent, competitive, graceful, and multidimensional. She believes leadership is about using your voice to uplift others and ensuring every young girl feels seen, empowered, and capable of taking up space in any room she enters.
