Grace Fugui Glenn (born April 27, 1998 in Nanchang, China) is a retired American artistic gymnast.[1] She was a member of the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team.[2]

Early and personal life

[edit]

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

[edit]

College

[edit]

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

[edit]

She sustained a torn labrum, so Glenn redshirted her freshman year.[4]

2017–2018 season

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]
