Thanks for all the suggestions.
Congrats to you and the student.
Did you cut the shirt tail???

Congrats. If you haven't done it already, get a full debrief from the examiner without your student present. I always enjoyed the feedback and it shows your professionalism to him.

That's a first solo thing. Checkride passage means the student buys the instructor a beer. Or dinner. Or a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue.

Good work! I've been in a similar situation twice. Having two students coming to me with 100+ hours. Never doubt your skills .
