AUBURN, Ala. - If you could describe it, Marliss Gruver could make it.

Chris Hooshyar, associate head coach for Auburn's women's tennis team, once envisioned a piece of fitness equipment he wanted, something to help the Tigers warm up.

"I'll have it back to you soon," said Gruver, director of operations for Auburn's tennis program.

Hired as a part-time administrative assistant in July 2015, Gruver's role rapidly expanded.

"Very quickly we found out that Marliss could basically do anything and everything we asked her," said head coach Lauren Spencer.
