I am an advanced student and was practicing landings to prepare for my checkride. I had a stabilized approach to Runway XX at ZZZ. Immediately upon landing the wind shifted and airplane departed runway to the left striking a runway light which damaged the bottom of the fuel tank and left side of stabilator. Winds were at direction 100 at 10 kts gusting to 15. I had gone around once but I could have gone around again to try to correct further for the crosswind before landing.
A student pilot reported a wind shift while landing caused them to lose control of the aircraft and they ran off the runway damaging the aircraft and a runway light.
