A champion is a member of
A winning team....
Someone who overcomes challenges
even when it requires creative solutions.
----------------------
In this poem, what does 'it' refer to?

"it" is one of those vague pronouns that refers to a condition set up in previous wording. In this case, "it" seems to refer to the act of overcoming challenges.

Thank you for your help?

Doesn't 'it' refer to 'A winning team'?

No. It does not refer to a winning team.

"It" in this poem refers to overcoming challenges.

In this poem, the pronoun 'it' actually refers to the act of overcoming challenges. The poem states that a champion is someone who overcomes challenges, even when it requires creative solutions. So, 'it' is referring to the act of overcoming challenges, not to 'A winning team'.
