is this sincere or just an automatic response?

It sounds like a generic response. That doesn’t mean he’s not interested in you. But that is the auto email sent after a questionnaire is submitted. You may get another email or call after the coaches have time to look more carefully. It’s D3, right, so coaches can contact you even if you are a junior? I don’t know how it works for track, but for football, the D1 coaches are very regulated on contacting athletes, but the D3 coaches were not. Once my son emailed, and especially visited, the D3 schools, the coaches were very proactive. Remember also that the coach is in the middle of the track season so he doesn’t have much time right now for recruiting.
