st: summarize, store multiple means?

Good Morning,
I would like to simply store multiple means as generated by the
summarize command:
sum var1 var2 .. var100
matrix averages=r(mean)
However, only the mean of the last (var100) is stored in that matrix. Is
there anyway to store all the means or do I have to loop over all
variables and store each mean value seperately in the matrix column?
Ultimately, I would like to run a command like:
bys sex: sum var1 var2 .. var100
and store two set of means in two matrix columns, but I assume accessing
r(mean) after that command would, again, only give me the very last mean
entry.
Cheers
Darjusch
