19 year old did a nice job with the landing. She claimed in an interview the fuel selector malfunctioned, but if they allowed the plane to fly home a few days later, I gotta think it was something else (or they installed a new switch?).

She has a moderately unique name, making a web search worth a shot - it appears the young pilot has a twitter account. Photo on there seems to show her pre or post-flighting a Cessna.

Whatever the cause, even if a mistake on her part, hopefully she gets back on the proverbial horse.
