In the storied history of Johns Hopkins swimming, Eric Steidinger ranks among the program's most decorated individuals as he won two individual national championships and garnered All-America honors a total of 18 times during his career. He also helped the Blue Jays to four, top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships and four UAA team titles as well. His 18 overall All-America awards rank among the top 20 in school history.

Steidinger led the Blue Jays to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 1993 and a third-place finish in 1994. At the 1993 NCAA Championships he won the first of his two individual titles in the 50-freestyle with a time of 20:32. He bolstered JHU's efforts that year by helping four relay teams to top four finishes to cap his efforts. A year later, Steidinger repeated as the national champion in the 50 free, added a fourth-place finish in the 100 free and led three relay teams to top three finishes as Hopkins earned its highest placing at the NCAA Championships (3rd) since 1981.

Steidinger earned a combined total of seven All-America honors in his first two seasons with a third-place finish in the 50 free at the 1990 NCAA Championships highlighting his first two years. Johns Hopkins placed eighth at the NCAA Championships his freshman year and seventh his sophomore year.

Steidinger graduated with six school records to his credit, including individual marks in the 50 and 100 free.
