Analysis
At the end of a cross-country flt, the plt was approaching the arpt for landing on rwy 6 and noticed light turbulence. On the first attempt to land the plt went around. On the second attempt the plt landed the acft. Aprx 100 ft down the rwy the acft became airborne and drifted to the right side of the rwy. The plt applied right rudder with no response. The acft exited the rwy and collided with a wall. The UNICOM reported winds from the southeast at 5-8 mph. A flight service station 13 miles to the southwest reported winds from 130 deg at 22 KTS with gusts to 37 KTS.
