DURING HER INITIAL SOLO FLT, THE STUDENT HAD MADE 2 LANDINGS. AFTER A SHORT BRIEFING BY HER INSTRUCTOR, SHE TOOK OFF FOR A 3RD LANDING. AS SHE APPROACHED THE RWY TOUCHDOWN ZONE, AN ARPT GRASS-MOWING VEHICLE WAS MOWING ALONG THE APPROACH END OF THE RWY. THE INSTRUCTOR (CFI) STATED THE MOWER WAS CIRCLING THE RWY LIGHTS AS IT WAS MOWING. THE STUDENT STATED THAT THE MOWER'S CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE RWY DISTURBED HER & SHE PULLED UP. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT LANDED HARD, BOUNCED, THEN SWERVED OFF THE RWY & WAS DAMAGED.
