NAIROBI, Kenya (AP)--Kipchoge (Kip) Keino, Kenya's Olympic champion runner, said yesterday he will decide this month whether to turn professional and join the International Track Association in the United States. Keino told the East African Standard Newspaper Association president that Michael O'Hara of , California, has offered him 5,600 dollars to sign a contract. Prize money and fees for endorsements and personal appearances would be extra. Keino, 32, is in the twilight of a track career that inspired a generation of African runners. He won the 3,000-meter steep- lechase at the Munich Olympics last August and was second in the 1,500 meters. The Kenyan said he has asked O'Hara for details of a proposed Riggins contract. He said it appeared that he would be required to pay his own travel and medical expenses.
