CBS Dallas/Fort Worth June 21, 2021 After qualifying for the Olympic games in the 3-meter springboard diving event, Hailey Hernandez says, "It's absolutely unreal. At the same time. I couldn't be happier to represent Texas and the whole United States." Amidst the rejoicing when Hailey qualified for the summer games in Indianapolis, a proud set of parents, Rick and Teresa, were shocked to find out how Hailey wanted to celebrate the milestone moment. Her mother, Teresa Hernandez, says, "We asked her what she wanted to celebrate, a steak or something, it was later at night… she was like, 'I just want a milkshake.'"
