Is there any way, in ASP.Net MVC, to condense the following code to a single foreach loop?

<table class="table">
    <tr>
        <td>
            Name
        </td>    
        <% 
        foreach (var item in Model) 
        {
         %>
            <td>
                <%= item.Name %>
            </td>
        <% 
        } 
        %>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            Item
        </td>    
        <% 
        foreach (var item in Model) 
        {
         %>
            <td>
                <%= item.Company %>
            </td>
        <% 
        } 
        %>
    </tr>
</table>

Where model is a simple object:

public class SomeObject
{
   public virtual Name {get;set;}
   public virtual Company {get;set;}
}

This would output a table as follows:

Name     |    Bob    |     Sam    |    Bill   |     Steve    |
Company  |  Builder  |   Fireman  |     MS    |     Apple    |

I know I could probably use an extension method to write out each row, but is it possible to build all rows using a single iteration over the model?

This is a follow on from this question as I'm unhappy with my accepted answer and cannot believe I've provided the best solution.
