Stefanie Loh is currently a sports features reporter at the U-T San Diego, otherwise formerly known as the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Stef enjoys narrative writing and loves reading narrative writing. Someday, she would like to write novels, or non-fiction narratives. She devotes what spare time she has to trying to master the art of Olympic weightlifting at San Diego-based box Crossfit Fortius, and is a recovering running addict has has lost the ability to find the “zone.” The peak of her career as a runner came in 2011, when she completed the Marine Corps Marathon. (However, we shall not speak of her final time.)

Stef’s lifetime athletic goal is to become a better tennis player — which won’t happen until she gets out of her own head. She also enjoys hiking, movies, wine and food (both eating it and cooking it).

A native of Singapore, Stef traversed the globe in search of her fortune as a sportswriter and wound up at the University of Oregon (Eugene, Ore.) from 2003-07. In Eugene, Stef worked at the Oregon Daily Emerald, where she covered lacrosse, women’s hoops, soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, and track. After college, Stef interned at The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.) for a summer before the job search took her to Morgantown, W.Va. where she became the West Virginia University football beat reporter. Stef moved to Harrisburg, Pa. in March 2010, and worked her way up from high school sports reporter to Penn State and sports enterprise reporter.

Stef joined the U-T San Diego in August 2012 as a college football writer and has found it difficult to leave since then. They don’t call it America’s Finest City for nothin’!
