American Joseph Kang finished in 13th place with 147.32 total points.
Nguyen and Kolesnik won their first JGP medal in Lithuania. The duo scored 63.40 in their rhythm dance to move into second place and held that position to earn the silver medal.
In the free dance, they were impressive, earning two Level 4 lifts, a Level 4 spin and Level 4 twizzles. Their 98.44-point performance gave them 161.84 points overall, almost 20 points ahead of the third-place finisher.
In their international debut at the junior level, Oona and Gage Brown notched a top-10 finish in the ice dance competition. The sibling duo came into the free dance in fifth place and scored 69.28 points with two Level four lifts. With 124.75 total points, the couple finished in ninth place.
