Narrative:
Routine training. Student was attempting a normal crosswind landing. Using runway 24 with wind reported on final as 220 degrees at 20 KTS gusting to 25 KTS. After making an excellent approach into the flare, a gust blew the aircraft right of centerline. The student overreacted and stalled by adding too much elevator. The aircraft landed just off the right of the pavement where it struck 3 runway edge lights. I took the aircraft immediately after the stall, held a straight line while applying power for a go around. When aircraft control was recovered, usable runway was short. I elected to go around rather than risk rolling off the runway end trying to stop.

Title: STUDENT OF A C172 DURING DUAL XWIND LNDG PRACTICE, STALLED ACFT OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY RUNNING OVER 3 RWY EDGE LIGHTS, RESULTING IN THE RPTING INSTRUCTOR PLT TAKING ACFT CTL AND MAKING A GAR.
Narrative: ROUTINE TRAINING. STUDENT WAS ATTEMPTING A NORMAL XWIND LNDG. USING RWY 24 WITH WIND RPTED ON FINAL AS 220 DEGS AT 20 KTS GUSTING TO 25 KTS. AFTER MAKING AN EXCELLENT APCH INTO THE FLARE, A GUST BLEW THE ACFT R OF CTRLINE. THE STUDENT OVERREACTED AND STALLED BY ADDING TOO MUCH ELEVATOR. THE ACFT LANDED JUST OFF THE R OF THE PAVEMENT WHERE IT STRUCK 3 RWY EDGE LIGHTS. I TOOK THE ACFT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STALL, HELD A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE APPLYING PWR FOR A GAR. WHEN ACFT CTL WAS RECOVERED, USABLE RWY WAS SHORT. I ELECTED TO GAR RATHER THAN RISK ROLLING OFF THE RWY END TRYING TO STOP.
