Before being crowned Miss Eco International Philippines, Alexie Brooks won medals as a track and field athlete.
In a post last May 9, just weeks before the Miss Universe Philippines pageant, Brooks also thanked sports for giving her the opportunities in life.
"With aspirations as seemingly endless as the horizon, I carried the hopes of my small town on my shoulders since I was young. I emerged from the shadows of a broken home and found a path to a collegiate education, thanks to the gift and talent of sports," she said as she graduated from National University which she also represented in the UAAP.
She also represented the Philippines in the 2022 Southeast Asian Games.
