Head Coach James Winchester added Hernandez to the coaching staff in July of 2022.

Celaya-Hernendez competed for four years at Tennessee from 2017-21. As a diver, she competed on 1-meter, 3-meter and platform.

During her senior campaign, Celaya-Hernandez competed in four meets, winning two events. She achieved a career best on the 1-meter (309.60) and 3-meter (331.28). Both those scores placed her ninth in the Tennessee record books at the time. Her 331.28 performance against Georgia on the 3-meter board won her the event (1/23/21). Her season was cut short due to a season ending injury.

Her junior year, Celaya-Hernandez qualified for the NCAA Championships on platform, earning CSCAA All-America honors in the event. She finished sixth on the NCAA Zone B Championships on platform, reaching a career best score of 263.40 in the prelims. That score placed her ninth in school history on platform.

In 2018-19, she competed in every meet and set season best scores in the final meet of the year.

As a freshman, she made an immediate impact on the boards, qualifying for the NCAA Zone B Championships. She reached the SEC Championship final in her first year on the 3-meter.
