This is because of the duration of the high school season. Some states (like South Carolina) complete their high school swimming seasons in October while others (like California) are not completed until May.
Rankings for this year's Freshman class are issued will be published on July 1st. This allows each Freshman to have completed a full season of high school competition. To post rankings earlier would skew the rankings towards those states with earlier seasons.
