According to the solo pilot, she had been cleared by her flight instructor to stay in the traffic pattern at the David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport to practice landings. After departing on runway 17L, she was cleared by the tower for a touch-and-go landing on runway 17R. According to the pilot, after touching down on runway 17R, she applied full power to initiate the takeoff phase of the touch-and-go. Control was lost, and the airplane departed the left side of the runway and went into grass. The pilot reported to an FAA inspector that she 'panicked and failed to close the throttle.' The nose landing gear sank in soft ground, and the airplane nosed over, collapsing the nose landing gear.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane during a touch-and-go, which resulted in an inadvertent ground swerve, an encounter with soft terrain, and a nose over of the airplane.
