According to the student pilot, the solo cross-country flight was uneventful to the destination airport. The student pilot stated she entered the traffic pattern for landing on runway 13.

The airplane collided with the runway, bounced, collided with the runway again in a nose down attitude, and began to porpoise down the runway. The student pilot did not report experiencing a mechanical problem with the airplane during the flight or approach to land. Examination of the airplane disclosed that the nose wheel assembly had collapsed and there was structural damage at the nose wheel attach point.
