The flight instructor reported that this was the first supervised solo flight for the 34-hour student pilot. The instructor stated that earlier in the day she had flown with the student, who had successfully completed seven full stop landings. The instructor reported that on the student's supervised solo flight, the student failed to reduce power and "looked a little high and a little fast as he approached runway 19L." The instructor also stated that as the airplane came down and the wheels touched the ground, the airplane bounced off the runway and its nose wheel touched the ground. The instructor reported this happened three times, and the third time "it seemed as if the airplane's nose wheel folded undernearth as the airplane skidded off the right side of the runway." The airplane came to rest in an upright position approximately 1,500 feet from the approach end of the runway.
