The pilot reported that she was practicing short field landings. The first wheel landing to a full stop was made within 300 feet. During the second landing roll, the pilot was again attempting to stop within 300 feet. The pilot stated that "I kept the tail too high in the wheel landin. (sic) I then reduced the power with the tail high and full brake at a low speed. The loss of air flow over the tail caused the slow forward roll over of the aircraft." The aircraft came to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: Aircraft control was not maintained during the landing roll. The aircraft subsequently nosed over.
