During one of a series of crosswind touch and go landings, the airplane exited runway 17R during the 5th takeoff roll. The airplane struck a ditch, which resulted in collapse of the nose landing gear. The private pilot had accumulated 65.7 hours total flight time. This was the pilot's first solo flight (0.7 hours) in the make/model of aircraft since a 1.2 hour dual check out with a flight instructor. The reported wind was from 120 degrees at 8 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during the takeoff roll. Factors were the crosswind condition and the pilot's lack of total experience in the make/model of aircraft.
