Personal life

Glenn was born October 28, 1999 in Plano, Texas.[1] Her father, Richard, works as a police officer.[2]

Career

Glenn won a bronze medal at the 2013 Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event in the Czech Republic and became a national junior champion at the 2014 U.S. Championships.[3][4] Ranked fifth in the short program and eighth in the free skate, she finished seventh at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. She trained in McKinney, Texas[5] and at Stonebriar Ice in Frisco, Texas until the rink closed in 2014.

In May 2014, U.S. Figure Skating named Glenn as the recipient of the 2014 Athlete Alumni Ambassador (3A) overall award.[6] In August, she won bronze at the 2014 JGP in France. She finished sixth at her second JGP assignment, in Estonia, and 13th on the senior level at the 2015 U.S. Championships.

Glenn began the 2015–16 season training in McKinney, Texas under Ann Brumbaugh and Ben Shroats.[1] After placing fifth at the 2015 JGP in Latvia and sixth on the senior level at the 2015 Skate Canada Autumn Classic in mid-October, she decided to take a break to "reevaluate".[2] She resumed training in February 2016 after joining Peter Cain and Darlene Cain in Euless, Texas.[2]
