(.4)The student pilot reported the airplane bounced on landing. While airborne it turned to the left and touched back down heading off the left side of the runway. The airplane continued off the runway into a grass area prior to contacting a 4' raised berm at a perpendicular taxiway. Upon contacting the berm, the nose gear collapsed and the airplane raised up onto its nose. The right wing contacted the terrain as the airplane settled back onto its main landing gear. (-23) student pilot attempted to land on runway 9 after completing the third leg of his second solo cross-country flight. The aircraft initially touched down on the runway, approximately 600 feet beyond the displaced approach threshold. After touchdown, the pilot maintained back pressure on the control yoke to preclude possible nose wheel shimmy. The aircraft became airborne again and traveled approximately 200 feet further down the runway, touching down 10 to 15 feet left of runway centerline and heading approximately 060 degrees. At this time the pilot applied heavy braking (evident by corresponding skid marks on the runway) and the aircraft departed the left side of the runway onto the grass median between the ruwnay and the parallel taxiway. The pilot was attempting to steer the aircraft back onto the runway when the nose gear struck a 4 inch raised edge on an intersecting taxiway, causing the nose gear to collapse. As the aircraft continued across the taxiway, both propeller blades struck the asphalt. Upon exiting the taxiway onto the soft grass the aircraft yawed to the left, causing the right wing tip to impact the runway. The aircraft cmae to rest upright, in the grass median, 12 feet from the left edge of the runway. Substantial damage to the firewall was sustained due to impact with the collapsed nose strut. Damage to both propeller blades (last 3 to 4 inches curled/ground) and the right wing tip were also noted. The pilot exited the aircraft without any injuries.
