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.[3] However, she sustained a torn labrum, and so Glenn redshirted her freshman year (the 2016-2017 season).[4]

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.[5] 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.[6]
