In total, she wears three piercings on each ear (and an extra fourth, on one side), one simple thin wire-cuff bracelet, two hand-made friendship anklets, two necklaces, and four rings. Isenbarger says it’s a way to maintain individuality while competing in uniform. “It’s what I wear every single day,” she says.
