Narrative:

I was on a solo cross country flight from naples to okeechobee. At approximately XA24 I called 10 mi southwest okeechobee for a full stop runway 4, straight-in. At approximately XA27 I called 6 mi out inbound straight-in approach runway 4 okeechobee. Approximately XA27 I recall hearing another aircraft calling 12 mi southwest 2500 ft inbound for a straight-in approach runway 4, okeechobee. Just after this, I recall hearing seneca nxxxx calling 8 mi south for a straight-in approach to runway 4 okeechobee. At approximately XA30 the incident: I called 2 mi final established for runway 4 straight-in approach okeechobee. I was at 700 ft at 80- 85 KIAS, 10 degrees flaps. I looked up and out of nowhere I was overtaken by the seneca nxxxx. He was above me and to the right at approximately 50 ft. The seneca then continued on final approach to runway 4 for a touch-and-go. He remained in the pattern and joined left traffic. Not understanding why the seneca nxxxx had overtaken me at approximately 50 ft vertical separation and 2 mi from runway 4 when I had been reporting my position at 10 mi, 6 mi, and 2 mi. I then called short final runway 4 okeechobee as the seneca was touch-and-going on runway 4 okeechobee. The seneca nxxxx never acknowledged my position and I consider this to be a flight safety risk, this is why I am filing this report. At approximately XA31 I made a 65 KIAS full flaps approach to runway 4 okeechobee and once landed I called unicom clear of active runway okeechobee. I then called unicom twice to ask for taxi instructions. I taxied to the ramp and shut down my engine at approximately XA35. The seneca nxxxx remained in the pattern for 3 circuits.
