(-23) student pilot, while practicing touch and go landings, lost control of aircraft and ran off runway. When running off runway, nose gear sank in soft, wet grass causing a/c to tip on nose and continue to go over on back. No injuries. Right wing was wrinkled, nose gear caused damage to fire wall. Propeller tips were damaged. Vertical stabilizer and rudder were damaged, and wrinkles in fuselage, just aft of fire wall.
