A witness reported that during one of a series of full stop landings on the hard surface 3,000 foot runway, the solo student pilot 'came in high and fast with no flaps.' The airplane touched down approximately 900 feet from the departure end of the runway. The student pilot stated that he applied the brakes after touchdown, but 'did not feel the airplane slowing down.' Witnesses 'heard him braking the aircraft as the tires skidded 2 or 3 times.' The airplane exited the north end of the runway, went down an embankment, and struck a ditch.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's misjudgment of distance/speed during approach resulting in his failure to attain the proper touchdown point.
