Assign Field to Structure Array without a Loop

In my routine I create a structure array within a loop like this:

Field1 = [1 2 3];
Field2 = [6 3 1];

for Runner = 1:3
    StuctArray(Runner).Field1 = Field1(Runner);
    StuctArray(Runner).Field2 = Field2(Runner);
end

As results, in the Variables Window the Structure Array columns are labelled with the field names, which is very convenient to me. However I try in different ways to do it without the loop, but did not succeed. E.g. I tried the following:

StructArray(1:3).Field1 = Field1

I would appreciate any hint how this can be solved without using a loop.

For-loop is alright, but if you insist

Field1 = [1 2 3];
Field2 = [6 3 1];

% Create struct
StructArray = struct('Field1',num2cell(Field1),'Field2',num2cell(Field2))

% Assign to existing struct
Field3 = [4 5 6]
c3 = num2cell(Field3)
[StructArray.Field3] = deal(c3{:});

Thanks a lot! Exactly what I was searching for. Obviously the conversion to a cell array ("num2cell") does the trick.

cellarray = num2cell([Field1(:),Field2(:)]);
namefields = {'Field1','Field2'};

StructArray = cell2struct(cellarray,namefields,2);
