2016–2017 season

She sustained a torn labrum, so Glenn redshirted her freshman year.

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, and helped the Bruins win the NCAA title with a record breaking 49.7500 balance beam rotation.

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. During the NCAA tournament, she scored 9.9000 on balance beam. UCLA finished third behind first place Oklahoma and second place LSU.

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. 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. The season was ultimately cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
