College (Arizona State)

2017-2018

House was an immediate impact player for the sundevils in his freshman campaign. At the 2018 PAC-12 champs, he started by helping ASU to a 2nd place finish in the 800 free relay. He went on to take 11th in the 500 free (4:19.93), 3rd in the 200 free (1:33.58), and 12th in the 100 free (43.44).

At the NCAA’s, House participated in ASU’s 10th place 800 free relay and placed 14th in the 200 free (1:33.61), earning 2 All-American honorable mentions.

2018-2019

House once again came in clutch for ASU as a sophomore. At the 2019 PAC-12 champs, he led off ASU’s 4th place 800 free relay with a split of 1:32.38. He then placed 4th in the 200 IM (1:42.83), 2nd in the 200 free (1:32.47), and 10th in the 200 breast (1:54.67).

At NCAA’s, he led off ASU’s 9th place 800 free relay (1:32.74), anchored their 8th place 400 free relay (42.30), and placed 10th in the 200 breast (1:32.29). With these performances, House earned two more All-American honorable mentions as well as his 1st All-American honor.

2019-2020

On September 6th, 2019, it was announced that House would be taking an Olympic redshirt season, sitting out what would have been his junior season with Arizona State to train for the U.S. Olympic Trials. House’s coach, Bob Bowman, commented:

“It made sense when we took into account his academic program over the next couple years and our belief that he would really benefit from an additional year of development,” Bowman said. “It also is a strategically sound long-term move for our team given the class we have coming in 2020.”
