The Sea Monsters are a marble team that compete in the Saint Charles Marble League. They made their debut at the 2022 Summer Marblelympics, where they placed 3rd.

The team's ambassador is Andrew Head. Cthulhu is the teams coach, and has been since their debut. The rest of the team is comprised of team captain Kraken, team members Scylla, Nessy, and Leviathan, and team reserve Charybdis.

The team had a disappointing debut at the 2022 Summer Games, placing 3rd place out of only three teams. However, they showed potential and are hoping to achieve a better placing at the forthcoming Winter Marblelympics.

## Team Members

### Ambassador

The Sea Monsters have had the same ambassador since their inception, Andrew Head. After a disappointing showing at their first Games, Andrew will be looking to make some improvements to the team during the offseason. Along with his ambassadorship, Andrew is also a founding member of the SCML and a member of the Marblelympic Committee.

## Appearances

### Marblelympics

#### 2022 Summer Marblelympics

The Sea Monsters were developed by Andrew Head in advance of the Inaugural 2022 Summer Marblelympics. The games were held at Walsh Stadium. Andrew chose Cthulhu to be the coach of the Sea Monsters, and Kraken to be the team captain. The rest of the team was made up of Charybdis, Nessy, Leviathan, and Scylla.

The Sea Monsters unfortunately performed very poorly at the 2022 Summer Games. Nessy finished last in the 2m Sprint, and the team would never move out of that overall last place position for the remainder of the games. The Monsters showed some potential during the middle of the games, securing three straight silver medals for the 4x1m Relay, Bowling, and the Obstacle Course. However, it wasn't enough to turn the tides in their favor.

By the end of the games, the Sea Monsters were the only team to fail to win at least one gold medal. They took four silvers and four bronze medals. Their brightest moment was definitely their WR time of 4.95s in the elimination round of the 4x1m Relay. Unfortunately, they would go on to lose to the Galaxy Guys in the final round of the event, meaning that even their record setting time failed to secure them their first gold medal.

With a grand total of 12 points at the end of the games, they set a new record low, and remained far behind Team Metallic and the Galaxy Guys, who scored 18 and 19 respectively.

#### 2023 Winter Marblelympics

All things considered, the 2023 Games went far better for the Sea Monsters than their previous Marblelympics outing. The team made some changes to their lineup prior to the games, moving Scylla to their main lineup and demoting Charybdis to their reserve spot.

The Games started off slow for the Sea Monsters, earning bronze medals in the first two events, Hockey and Long Distance Skiing. However, the next four events would see the Sea Monsters earn two gold medals and two silvers, launching them into 2nd place for the tournament.

Some highlights for the team came from standout individual performances from Leviathan in the long jump and Nessy in Alpine Skiing. These two performances earned the Sea Monsters their first two gold medals in their team history. The Sea Monsters made a case for themselves as a powerhouse in individual sports.

Overall, the Sea Monsters had a respectable performance at the Games and their team restructuring seemed to have benefited them.
