Glenn reset the 200-meter dash record and nearly set a new standard in the 400-meter distance as the Panthers opened up the indoor season by debuting at the UIndy Season Opener on Saturday.
 
Glenn sprinted to a time of 22.21 (adjusted time on 200-meter track) to place second out of 44. He edged out the previous record of 22.33 set by Cedarville senior Andre Klaassen back in Februrary of 2016.
