THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON HER FIRST SUPERVISED SOLO ON RUNWAY 03 AT GOODYEAR AIRPORT, GOODYEAR, AZ. HER INSTRUCTOR ADVISED HER TO MAKE THREE TOUCH & GO TAKEOFF'S AND LANDINGS. THE INSTRUCTOR POSITIONED HERSELF NEAR THE LANDING AREA AND ADVISED THE STUDENT PILOT THAT SHE WOULD WAVE TO HER IF SHE WANTED HER TO TERMINATE THE TAKEOFF'S AND LANDINGS. THE INSTRUCTOR REPORTED THAT THE INITIAL LANDING WAS NEARLY PERFECT. DURING THE SECOND TAKEOFF ROLL THE STUDENT PILOT FAILED TO RETRACT THE FLAPS & THE ACFT LIFTED OFF IN A VERY SHORT DISTANCE AND ABOUT A 30 DEGREE PITCH UP ATTITUDE. WHEN THE ACFT REACHED ABOUT 100 FT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL IT BEGAN A LEFT TURN AND A STEEP DESCENDING DIVE. THE ACFT CAME TO REST ON ABOUT A 200 DEG MAGNETIC HEADING, RIGHT-SIDE UP. THE STUDENT PILOT SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES. RUNWAY 03 IS CONCRETE SURFACED AND IS 8,500 FT LONG BY 150 FT WIDE.
