Although model Erica Jean Schenk has rocked the pages of high-profile magazines like Seventeen, it’s her latest gig that is causing major buzz. The 18-year-old Wilhelmina model landed the cover of Women’s Running as the first plus-sized model to do so. Social media went wild with people praising the magazine for showing a woman with real curves looking strong, gorgeous, and athletic.
