Early and personal life
Glenn was born in Nanchang, China and was adopted by Neil and Cindi Glenn, along with her twin sister Anna. She graduated from South Mecklenburg High School in 2016.
Career
College
In the fall of 2016 she began attending the University of California, Los Angeles, joining the UCLA Bruins gymnastics program for the 2016-2017 season, along with her twin sister Anna.[3]
2016–2017 season
She sustained a torn labrum, so Glenn redshirted her freshman year.[4]
2017–2018 season
Glenn only competed balance beam during her second season. During the NCAA Championship Super Six, she was the lead-off gymnast, scored 9.9375,[5] and helped the Bruins win the NCAA title with a record breaking 49.7500 balance beam rotation.[6]
2018–2019 season
During the 2019 season, Glenn competed balance beam at all meets. At the Pac-12 Championship, she was co-champion on balance beam, sharing the title with fellow Bruin Katelyn Ohashi and helped the team win their 19th conference championship.[7] During the NCAA tournament, she scored 9.9000 on balance beam.[8] UCLA finished third behind first place Oklahoma and second place LSU.[9]
2019–2020 season
On January 12, at a meet against Boise State, Glenn began the balance beam rotation with a then career-high 9.975, securing her the meet title.[10] On February 23, at a meet against Utah, Glenn scored the first ever 10.0 for a lead-off gymnast, also winning the meet title.[11] The season was ultimately cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]
