While landing on runway 8, the student pilot (SP) stated that the left wing lifted. He applied aileron correction which brought the wing back down, but the plane veered off the left of the runway. Winds reported at an airport about 16 miles south of the accident site, at 1651, and 1751, were from 350 degrees at 8 knots, and from 10 degrees at 12 knots, respectively.
