At the Mt. SAC Relays on Saturday, Olympic gold medalist Joanna Hayes interviewed world-class long jumper Brianna Glenn about not only her solid performance at the meet - Glenn placed 2nd behind 2009 World Champion Brittney Reese (6.83m) with a solid 6.75m leap - but also her determination to pursue her dream year after year, despite injuries and other setbacks over the years.

Glenn's reasoning is simple: she's still having fun and she's still improving. The best Brianna Glenn is yet to come, and that's saying a lot when she is already a national champion and World Team member.

So stay tuned and keep your eye on this fantastic athlete and person!
